Acknowledgements
This Programme Guidance is a constant work in progress. We encourage our teams, our partners and colleagues to help to keep this tool as practical, relevant and up-to-date as possible. This can only be done with your support.
The concept, content, categories, and ideas for tools all came from intensive consultations with SBC experts, led by UNICEF country and regional colleagues. We could not have gotten to this phase of the toolkit without the time, commitment and expertise of many, many people from within UNICEF and from our partners and colleagues around the world.
In particular we’d like to thank:
- UNICEF Internal Core Group
The Internal Core Group (ICG) led the development of the Programme Guidance. The ICG is made up of UNICEF SBC experts from across the world who volunteered countless hours on the content, design, approach, tools development and delivery of the Programme Guidance.
