UNICEF's Division of Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP) in Geneva is pivotal to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined in the organization’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan. The division focuses on maximizing private sector fundraising, partnerships, and engagement. Central to these efforts is the Innovative Financing for Children (IF4C) function, which develops and implements innovative financing mechanisms to mobilize resources for children's welfare globally. These initiatives address critical issues such as climate change, environmental sustainability, and disaster risk reduction, targeting the most vulnerable and marginalized children and adolescents. The IF4C team plays a crucial role in driving these efforts forward through strategic private sector engagements.
