Results from 2015

       As of 31 October 2015, UNICEF had received 73 per cent (US$454.8 million) of the US$624.3 million appeal, in addition to US$138.6 million carried forward from 2014. In 2015, UNICEF scaled up the programmatic response under the No Lost Generation initiative. UNICEF education programmes reached more than 506,000 children, including 442,000 children with access to formal education and 63,000 children with access to non-formal education. 

  UNICEF also supported education advocacy to overcome legal, policy and language barriers that hinder child and youth access to education. In child protection, UNICEF promoted the expansion of community-based services beyond psychosocial support to reach more children with a broader range of interventions. A package of integrated services is being offered in social development centres in Lebanon and Makani centres in Jordan. In refugee camps in Iraq and Jordan, UNICEF invested in reducing the costs of providing WASH services by transitioning from expensive emergency mechanisms such as water trucking to more cost-effective service delivery.

  UNICEF continued to scale up the provision of WASH services in host communities in Jordan and Lebanon. Across the region, UNICEF continued to support polio immunization to ensure that that the Middle East remains polio free and responded to disease outbreaks, including cholera in Iraq and hepatitis A in Jordan. 

   UNICEF provided 332,000 children in vulnerable families and vulnerable areas with cash or seasonal clothes and materials to meet their basic needs. The winter needs of most vulnerable families were addressed across the region through the provision of cash grants, winter clothing and blankets.
