Overview

The scale and impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic was unprecedented, however, public health emergencies (PHEs) have long posed substantial global risks, which are magnified for those in low-income or humanitarian settings. While health emergencies can arise from varied sources, they most commonly arise from infectious disease. In the past half a century, 20 epidemic-prone diseases, including cholera, dengue and haemorrhagic fevers, have either re-emerged or spread geographically. These trends are expected to intensify with heightened unpredictability and risk due to climate change, population growth, population movements, increased habitat encroachment, unplanned urbanization and protracted crises. PHEs pose a profound threat to the UNICEF mandate of realizing the rights of every child, including adolescents and especially the most excluded. Across the levels and functions of the organization, UNICEF work in PHEs can be broadly classified as covering three main types of activity: enhancing global health security, national and community epidemic preparedness, and response to and recovery from PHEs. Early in the period under review, UNICEF work on PHEs rapidly expanded. In parallel to this scale-up of response activities, spending on PHEs also increased. This evaluation has two main purposes. The first is to support learning and decision-making pertaining to recent and ongoing challenges that UNICEF has confronted related to PHEs. The second is to assess the extent to which UNICEF has met its defined responsibilities, roles and performance expectations, and ac outputs, outcomes and impact, contributing to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 (“Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”) and other SDGs. This includes UNICEF compliance with standards such as the Core Commitments for Children (CCCs), Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) Guidance, and other and relevant agreements, as well as UNICEF policies
