In decision 2008/15, the Executive Board endorsed the modified system for \ allocation of regular resources for programmes, originally adopted in 1997. It \ decided to maintain the system, with two modifications: (a) adopt the World Bank \ classification of “high income” status as the country threshold for graduation from \ receiving regular resources; and (b) raise the minimum level of regular resource \ allocation from $600,000 to $750,000 for all programme countries, except in those \ otherwise included in multi-country programmes. \ This report responds to the Executive Board request for a report on \ implementation of the modified system and presents lessons learned since 2008. A \ draft decision is included in section IV.

UNICEF was established in the aftermath of World War II to help children whose lives and futures were at risk - no matter what country they were from. \ \ The only thing that mattered to UNICEF was reaching children in need. What mattered was achieving results. \ \ The same holds true today. We work day-in and day-out, in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the children and young people who are most at risk and most in need. We work to save their lives. To protect their rights. To keep them safe from harm. To give them a childhood in which they're protected, healthy and educated. To give them a fair chance to fulfil their potential. \ \ We are UNICEF. We stand for every child, everywhere. And we never give up.

In words, images, facts and figures, this report details the results that UNICEF achieved in 2018, together with its generous partners and supporters, a dedicated global workforce and children and young people themselves. It also profiles UNICEF's 2018 advocacy campaigns focused on improving child survival and health, expanding early childhood development programmes, ending violence against children and supporting young migrants and refugees. And it highlights the ways in which UNICEF has lived its core values - care, respect, integrity, accountability and trust - by initiating positive changes in its organizational culture. \ \ As a record of the first year of the UNICEF Strategic Plan, 2018-2021, the report outlines efforts to protect the rights of every child, to open up new opportunities for children and young people, to become increasingly effective and efficient, and to strengthen UNICEF's partnerships and financial stewardship. Among many other achievements in 2018, the report notes that UNICEF supported birth in health facilities for 27 million babies, three doses of the Pentavalent vaccine for an estimated 65.5 million children, education for 12 million children and treatment for 4 million children with severe acute malnutrition. At the same time, the organization responded to 285 humanitarian emergencies in 90 countries. \ \ UNICEF Annual Report 2018 examines the progress made despite humanitarian challenges - as well as the opportunities ahead - as the international community marks the 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 2019.
