The UNICEF Strategic Plan 2022–2025, titled "Renewed Ambition Towards 2030," serves as a roadmap for UNICEF’s work to protect and advance the rights of every child, especially those most disadvantaged and hardest to reach. Grounded in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international human rights instruments, the plan sets a global framework for UNICEF’s operations across more than 190 countries and territories. Its core purpose is to drive transformational, systemic changes that benefit children and adolescents in all contexts—including humanitarian crises and fragile situations—by addressing the underlying causes of mortality, poverty, inequality, and exclusion.

The plan outlines five interconnected Goal Areas. The first ensures that every child survives and thrives, with access to nutritious diets, quality primary health care, nurturing practices, and essential supplies. The second focuses on guaranteeing that every child learns and acquires skills for the future, while the third aims to protect all children from violence, exploitation, abuse, neglect, and harmful practices. The fourth Goal Area seeks to provide every child with safe and equitable access to water, sanitation, hygiene, and a sustainable environment. Finally, the fifth Goal Area works to ensure that every child has access to inclusive social protection and lives free from poverty.
