In 12 countries with some of the world’s highest rates of child brides, UNICEF and UNFPA have joined forces through a Global Programme to Accelerate Action to End Child Marriage. For the first time, existing strategies in areas like health, child protection, education, and water and sanitation, are coming together to form a unique holistic programme with shared plans and goals.
UNICEF and UNFPA joined forces in 2015 in Nepal to support interventions to end child
marriage. Together they work with adolescent girls and boys in their communities to empower and protect them; and with a range of actors, from national policy makers to villagers, to create supportive environments for change.
