Today at the #SocialCareForum in Abu Dhabi, UNICEF joined experts and changemakers to explore how social care systems can shift from reactive approaches to proactive, lifelong support. UNICEF Gulf Deputy Representative, Jumana Haj-Ahmad, highlighted why investing in children and adolescents is not only a moral imperative but also the smartest economic strategy: “Early childhood and adolescence are two decisive windows of opportunity. The care, protection, and learning opportunities we provide in these stages shape not just children’s health and education, but their lifelong resilience and contribution to society. Investing in children is investing in stronger, more cohesive communities.” – Jumana Haj-Ahmad. From early childhood programmes to adolescent mental health and anti-bullying initiatives, UNICEF works alongside partners in the UAE to build future-ready social care systems that prioritize prevention and inclusion. #ForEveryChild
