UNICEF is one of the best known organizations of the United Nations system and the oldest of the UNa (TM)s development funds. It is also the part of the UN which consistently receives support from all countries round the world, including the United States. This book brings out the wider reasons for UNICEFa (TM)s success and popularity, setting them in the context of UNICEFa (TM)s evolution since 1946 and drawing lessons for other international organizations. This will be of great interest to all scholars of international organisations, development, human rights and the United Nations system.
