The State of the World's Children 2019 by United Nations Pdf

This report examines nutrition, providing a fresh perspective on a rapidly evolving challenge. Despite progress in the past two decades, around 200 million under-fives suffer from undernutrition. Adding to this toll is rising obesity, which affects 38 million children. All these forms of malnutrition threaten children’s development, while obesity is creating a lifelong legacy of disease. At the heart of this evolving challenge is a global shift towards modern diets that do not meet children’s nutritional requirements. The report provides unique data and analysis of malnutrition in the 21st century and outlines recommendations to put children’s needs at the heart of global and national food systems.

The World and a Very Small Place in Africa by Donald R. Wright Pdf

Niumi, a small, little-known territory located on the bank of the Gambia River in West Africa, is seemingly far from the reaches of world historical events. And yet the outside world has long had a significant - and increasingly profound - impact on Niumi. This fascinating work shows how global events have affected people's lives over the past eight centuries in this small region in Africa's smallest country. Drawing on written and oral testimony, and writing in a clear and personal style, Donald R. Wright connects 'globalization' with real people in a real place. This new edition updates discussions of global history and African history based on current studies and new developments that have been factored into the interpretive framework. Reflecting on recent visits to Niumi, Wright extends the story into 2009, to consider the impact of global recession and domestic political repression under a regime in power for the past fifteen years. Punctuating the narrative are photographs, maps, and 'Perspectives' boxes on selected topics such as the sale of slaves five centuries ago, colonial sexism, the fate of press freedom, and how popular culture affects growing up in a traditional society. Throughout, the author deals with African history seriously, global trends critically, and human lives sensitively.

The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Children's Issues Worldwide [6 volumes] by Irving Epstein Pdf

From the skyrocketing AIDS rate in Haiti to the oppressive pollution in industrial China, from the violent street culture of Nigeria to the crippling poverty in Nicaragua, from child trafficking in Thailand to child marriages in India, this jam-packed six-volume set explores all these issues and more in an unprecedented look at the world's children at the dawn of the 21st century. In recent years, while many countries have enjoyed a higher standard of living and improved working conditions, others have been torn apart by war and incapacitated by famine, and are struggling to improve life for their children and their future. Recent concern over the world's children has resulted in a global attempt to define what constitutes an acceptable childhood. New attention has been paid, not only to healthcare and secondary education, but also to the right to play and increased access to technology. The UN's codification of children's rights has done much to expand our understanding of what is needed for healthy growth and development of children and youth. Organized by region, The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Children's Issues Worldwide is the first globally focused set of this magnitude, offering extensive, up-to-date coverage of these critical issues. Original chapters accessibly synthesize current data on key topics, including education, play and recreation, child labor, family, health, laws and legal status, religious life, abuse and neglect, and growing up in the 21st century.

Singapore and UNICEF by Peggy Kek,Penny Whitworth Pdf

Singapore's well-documented economic progress since independence owes a big debt to the initial investment that the nation made in raising the nutrition, hygiene, health and education standards of its children. In the early days the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) provided some assistance. The relationship has evolved as Singapore's socioeconomic circumstances improved. Educated and qualified Singaporeans themselves were recruited into the ranks of UNICEF international staff, and left their home country to work on programmes for vulnerable children in developing countries throughout the world. As Singapore celebrates its Golden Jubilee in 2015 and UNICEF looks forward to its 70th anniversary in 2016, Singapore and UNICEF: Working for Children takes a timely look at their past collaborative efforts to advance the rights of the child and help children realise their full potential. Although UNICEF has collaborated with many partner institutions and individuals in Singapore over the past few decades, little has been documented and not all in one publication. The lively essays, candid interviews and first-hand accounts in this volume provide meaningful reflections on the history of the relationship and insights into UNICEF's work and its involvement with diverse parts of Singapore society. Written by several former UNICEF staff, consultants and volunteers, this book will appeal to all who are interested in development, human rights, civil society and the work of a UN humanitarian agency.Contents: Message by Ambassador Tommy Koh Foreword by Daniel Toole Preface Acknowledgements Introduction: Singapore and UNICEF Working for Children (Peggy Kek and Penny Whitworth) A Brief History of UNICEF in Singapore (Peggy Kek) Singaporeans in Action: UNICEF in the Field: Improving Children's Lives in Laos (Ng Shui-Meng with Peggy Kek) From Singapore to Mongolia and Romania: Taking Early Childhood Development Further with UNICEF (Khoo Kim Choo) From Italy to Vietnam: Two Very Different UNICEF Operations (Peggy Kek) The Power of a Little Trust and Credit (Ng Shui-Meng with Peggy Kek) "Chatting With My Best Friend": Fighting HIV-AIDS in Nepal (Cheng Wing-Sie with Peggy Kek) Emergency Mode in Timor-Leste (Ng Shui-Meng with Peggy Kek) UNICEF Internationals in Action: UNICEF in Singapore: Singapore Impressions (Karsten Sohns) From Geneva to Singapore: Sales Support to National Partners (Penny Whitworth) A Swede in Singapore (Per-Olov Lennartsson with Penny Whitworth) My Journey to Singapore with UNICEF (Jackie Leung) Volunteer Action in Singapore: Civil Society: A Special Relationship (Penny Whitworth) Not All Business (Tony Coker) Breastfeeding Mother's Support Group (Singapore) and UNICEF (Lynette Thomas) Miracle on 34th Street: UNICEF and Dreams Coming True (Kenneth Tan) A Christmas to Remember (Carolyn Tay) Inspired by UNICEF (Simon Fenley) The Art of Giving (Penny Whitworth) Reflections: From Academic to Development Worker (Ng Shui-Meng with Peggy Kek) From Journalist to HIV-AIDS Adviser (Cheng Wing-Sie with Peggy Kek) For the Children I Came to Know (Peggy Kek) A Practice to Build On (Penny Whitworth) Appendix Convention on the Rights of the Child About the Editors Selected Bibliography Readership: For general readers who are interested in the field of human development; educators; active members of civil society.Key Features: The book employs a distinct examination of Singapore's engagement with a UN agency, presenting a wide range of individual perspectives not usually available It is highly readable.
