A synthesis of UNICEF’s response

Ebola crisis - Sierra LeoneOn 25 September, (centre) Ernest, 7, leans against a low wall in a village on the outskirts of the city of Kenema in Eastern Province. Several other children and a woman are around him. Many of the people in the village are affected by Ebola. “I’m bored because there is no more school,” Ernest said. “I really miss my English teacher, he was always making jokes. I hope this Ebola problem goes away soon so we can continue learning.”

Global response in 2014UNICEF and partners responded to 294 humanitarian situations of varying scales in 98 countries in 2014. This includes large-scale Level 3 responses for the crises in the Central African Republic, Iraq, the Philippines, South Sudan, the Syrian Arab Republic and the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

* The gap in 2014 revenue and expenditure amounts is due to revenue being utilized over different calendar years. For example, a portion of the funding UNICEF received late in 2014 was carried forward to be used for activities in 2015.
