  • SafeChild/TeamOne Week 2 Opens in Luxembourg! This week continues UNICEF’s commitment to strengthening digital capacity to maximize results for children everywhere. Supported by the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Defence, Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, the SafeChild initiative brings together UNICEF digital advisors to Luxembourg to build skills, share expertise, and advance responsible digital programmes, including cybersecurity and digital guardrails.   During the opening session, Max Lamesch, Director of Humanitarian Affairs, Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign Affairs, welcomed the group with reflections on Luxembourg’s legacy and relevance:   “Luxembourg, the home of the Schengen agreement, was once a fortress and is now a symbol of free movement,” said Max Lamesch. “This is a kind of symbol for digital structures. The world is evolving fast. To respond and prevent effectively, we must stay connected to expertise and act responsibly.”   UNICEF Global CIO Kaan Cetinturk encouraged staff to be active contributors to TeamOne, UNICEF’s new operating model for digital programme support to country offices.   “You will be upskilled for your own work, but also to support others,” said Kaan. “This time here is about learning. When you return to your offices, raise it one level above, to your supervisors, to your government counterparts. You are not alone, you have the power of TeamOne. And remember to talk about your successes.”   Over the next days, staff will engage in hands-on sessions and simulations to strengthen UNICEF’s digital impact and digital guardrails, in order to better protect child rights everywhere. #digitaltechnology #luxaid

  • What happens when determination meets digital innovation? In South Sudan’s remote villages, reaching children with life-saving vaccines has always been a challenge. Roads are often impassable, communities are scattered, and health data is limited. Yet for Rita David Elisa, these obstacles aren’t a reason to give up—they’re a reason to push forward. The Ministry of Health, the Japan - The Government of Japan, and UNICEF are supporting health workers like Rita in delivering vital services to families that most need them. From hand-drawn sketches to digital precision, local teams are reimagining how to find, reach, and protect every child. However, this is a story about people, not just technology. It’s about Rita and hundreds of health workers leading a new era of digital health planning to ensure that no child is left behind. 👉 Read the full story to see how human resilience and digital innovation are reshaping healthcare in South Sudan. https://lnkd.in/e5CrARsU #ForEveryChild #DigitalImpact
