Annual report of the Executive Director, 2016: performance \ and results, including a report on the implementation of the \ quadrennial comprehensive policy review

This report details the results achieved by UNICEF for and with children worldwide in 2016. It covers the organization's programme work, humanitarian action, partnerships and advocacy efforts in all strategic sectors, with an emphasis on reaching every child and accelerating progress for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged girls and boys. The report also highlights UNICEF's innovations, its efforts to improve efficiency and effectiveness, and the stories of individual children and families directly affected by UNICEF's work in the course of its 70th anniversary year.

Regular resources (RR) are at the center of UNICEF's ability to deliver results for every child, particularly those most vulnerable. All UNICEF offices benefit from the allocation of RR, with the largest share spent on programmes for children and the balance used to support the core structure of the organization - without which we would not be able to deliver on our mandate. UNICEF's Report on Regular Resources 2016 presents key results achieved with RR in the course of the year, highlights revenue and expense trends, and acknowledges the generosity of government and private-sector partners who have generously contributed RR to UNICEF.

In 2016, UNICEF and partners responded to 344 humanitarian situations of varying scale in 108 countries - the largest number of situations and countries recorded since tracking began more than a decade ago.

UNICEF remained well positioned in 2016 to foster gender-equitable outcomes for children as a catalyst to a more just world - helping girls and boys realize their full potential and helping societies make progress on gender equality.
