With Kateryna Osadcha discussing why education must go beyond the classroom, and how UNICEF is helping children recover, build skills, and shape their future in Ukraine and beyond. #URC2025

We are heading in the wrong direction. Childhood immunization rates in Europe and Central Asia are stagnating and - in some cases - declining. Together with @who_europe's @hans_kluge, we are calling for urgent, unified action to ensure every child is protected with life-saving…

#URC2025: @MinForUADev launches #WASH Sector Working Group chaired by 🇫🇷 & @UNICEF under @UADonorPlatform Partnerships are core to transforming systems, ensuring sustainable access to safe water & sanitation #ForEveryChild. Ukraine's recovery relies on efficient local services.

I met with @R_DeDominicis, @UNICEF_ECA, and @MunirMammadzade, Head of @UNICEF_UA. We discussed the protection of children’s rights during wartime, the rehabilitation of affected children, and access to education and psychosocial support.

At #URC2025, I joined Italy’s Minister of Education, @G_Valditara, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Education and Science, @KudriavetsUA, and partners to highlight the new Early Childhood Education and Care Framework. A shared, powerful vision to reach every child in Ukraine with…

With 1 in 5 adolescents out of school or work in Ukraine, we need urgent, sustained and strategic investment in children, families, and the services they rely on. A child- and youth-centred recovery is a lifeline for children and the foundation for human capital development.…

#URC2025: Advancing early childhood and preschool education is vital to Ukraine's recovery. UNICEF proud to be among partners driving transformation of early learning and care #ForEveryChild. @MON_UKRAINE @MinSocUA @mineconomdev Investing in children is investing in 🇺🇦 future.

Honored to represent @UNICEF at the opening of the Ukraine Recovery Conference alongside world leaders. This is such an important moment to recommit to a recovery for Ukraine that places children at its heart. #URC2025

With an incredible group of young people at the #URC2025. We will continue strengthening pathways for skilling and empowering youth-led organizations. What a force!

70% of Ukraine's children lack access to basic goods and services. At the #UkraineRecoveryConference, UNICEF calls for urgent investment in critical services and systems to protect children today and build the foundations for Ukraine’s recovery. #URC2025 unicef.org/eca/press-rele…

@UNICEF has joined the Ukraine Recovery Conference #URC2025 in Rome to deliver a straightforward message to all participating countries, governments, IFIs, donors, the private sector, and civil society: investing in children and young people is investing in the future of #Ukraine

One year since its launch at URC2024, the Alliance for Gender-Responsive and Inclusive Recovery of Ukraine is gaining strength. Great to mark this milestone at today’s networking event in Rome: expanding membership and joining forces to ensure gender equality drives Ukraine’s…

Proud to join @mayorterekhov & partners to launch the @UNICEF supported #Kharkiv city Water Supply & Sanitation Recovery Roadmap at a #URC2025 side event. A strategic planning & partnership driving local recovery for children & families - a model replicable for other cities.

A threefold increase in the number of children killed or injured in Ukraine over the past three months is deeply alarming. Every child has the right to be safe - now more than ever, they need protection and a lasting peace. unicef.org/eca/press-rele…

Pleasure to meet EU Commissioner @magnusbrunner and Minister @DanielMitov in Sofia to discuss the EU Pact and importance to place unaccompanied & vulnerable #children at the core. Strong child protection systems including guardianship are key. #ForEveryChild

Deeply saddened by reports of another shipwreck off the coast of Italy. A mother has died, and her child remains missing. This is a painful reminder of the urgent need for coordinated search-and-rescue and stronger protection for children and families. unicef.org/eca/press-rele…

"We must ensure that children are not only connected, but also protected," said @R_DeDominicis, opening the @Gigaglobal Ministerial Meeting on Education and Technology, advocating to protect children's online safety while expanding digital learning.

A pleasure to meet again with @hadjalahbib. The EU remains a steadfast partner in humanitarian responses. We so appreciated the support and commitment to further humanitarian values and principles. Children whose lives have been shattered by war and disasters are counting on us.
