Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) is UNICEF’s global
appeal, which highlights the challenges faced by children in
humanitarian situations, the support required to help them
survive and thrive, and the results that are possible in even
the most difficult of circumstances. In recent years, the
appeal has progressively moved online, where content can
be updated regularly. As part of UNICEF’s ongoing efforts
to make its systems more strategic and results-based, the
online HAC presents individual humanitarian appeals based
on needs, standards and targets, while showing what
results have been achieved for children and women.
Appeals and results are updated regularly, based on the
country context. The HAC is in line with United Nations inter-agency Strategic Response Plans.
