Benjamin Dousa receives Executive Director of UNICEF
SWEDEN, November 12 - Published
Catherine Russell, Executive Director of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has visited Sweden for discussions with Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Benjamin Dousa. UNICEF is one of Sweden’s foremost partners in both humanitarian aid and development assistance. The Government recently approved additional extensive support to UNICEF’s humanitarian work.
“Children are particularly severely affected by crises in the world – whether it’s war, natural disasters or widespread poverty. Sweden’s support to UNICEF helps provide protection, vaccinations, psychosocial support and treatment for severe malnutrition for the most vulnerable children. I look forward to highlighting UNICEF’s crucial role in strengthening the rights of girls and boys globally and how ongoing reforms within the UN can make their operations even more effective,” says Mr Dousa.
During her visit on 10–11 November, Ms Russell also met with TRH Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia, the founders of Prinsparets Stiftelse, a foundation that works for children’s rights in the areas of dyslexia and online safety. She will also meet with Sida Director-General Jakob Granit and the Riksdag’s Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs.
