Teach and train

Quality education and training are keys to a successful future. We help ensure that children's fundamental right to education is met and that young people are prepared to live independent lives.

Child-centred education

No child should miss out on quality education or training that address their individual needs and circumstances so they can develop their potential. We work with families, communities and partners to ensure that each child has access to education and training that respect and support every child's talents, capabilities and needs.

Youth employability

Young people all over the world are facing challenges when trying to find work and transition to independence. Young people who cannot count on the support network of their parents often find it particularly difficult to find decent work. We support disadvantaged young people to help them prepare for the labour market and increase their employment prospects.

Leveraging technology to improve futures

Information and communication technologies provide great opportunities for people around the world to connect, learn, and share in the global development. We work with partners to make these technologies more accessible to children, young people and families around the world so they can enhance their knowledge, skills, networks and resources to build sustainable futures.
