The Italian Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF Italia) is part of the overall structure of UNICEF - United Nations Fund for Children, the UN subsidiary organ that is appointed to protect and promote the rights of girls, children (aged 0-18) and adolescents all over the world, and to contribute to the improvement of their living conditions.

Our organization is therefore both a non-governmental organization (NGO) that is part of the growing third sector in Italy and a representative of an intergovernmental program of the United Nations. In keeping up with the rest of the organization, even UNICEF Italy's actions are inspired by the principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as the Millennium Development Goals.

The Italian Committee for UNICEF is a well-organized, professional structure with a vast network of volunteers throughout the country.
