A/HRC/21/36 1. United Nations Children’s Fund 71. In its contribution to the present report, UNICEF reported on three projects relating to the right to health, namely strengthening childcare services, safe motherhood, and child immunization. In supporting the country’s health system, UNICEF has worked closely with health sector partners, local authorities, the private sector and community-based organizations. It has delivered drugs and medical supplies for the primary health-care sector throughout Somalia. Some 400 health facilities, including hospitals, maternal and child health centres and health posts, have received essential drugs and basic medical equipment through UNICEF and its partners. 72. In addition to providing basic health-care services, UNICEF has supported the development of institutional capacities by training health-care personnel, supporting policy development and encouraging health sector reform. The UNICEF Expanded Programme on Immunization seeks, through routine immunization and polio national immunization days, to protect a progressively larger group of children against vaccine preventable diseases. 73. UNICEF, WHO, non-governmental organizations and local authorities have collaborated in regional cholera task forces, which responded to several outbreaks between January and June 2012, primarily in Mogadishu, Kismayo and Bossasso. Cholera supplies and chlorine tablets to purify water were made available by UNICEF to all health centres treating cholera patients. 74. UNICEF has also provided supplies, such as basic drugs, insecticide-treated nets to prevent malaria, vaccines and medical equipment. 75. Special emphasis has been placed on safe motherhood practices, support for prenatal care, home delivery assistance and emergency obstetric care. Health education is provided through community health workers, traditional birth attendants and the media. Clean delivery kits to ensure sanitary and safe conditions for women in labour and those assisting with the birth have been distributed to 99 maternal and child health facilities offering prenatal care throughout Somalia. The kits have been sold at subsidized prices and the revenue generated has helped health centres to support staff and rehabilitate facilities. 76. The UNICEF education programme in Somalia has addressed primary formal education and primary alternative education. The former has focused on increasing enrolment and helping students who are returning to the classroom to advance through learning levels. The latter has focused on building alternative, non-formal learning opportunities for young people without access to formal education. UNICEF has provided education materials to both formal and informal classroom settings, teacher training and support for community education committees. Local authorities have been helped to establish and set standards for the education system, and to develop standardized curricula and text books. In these endeavours, UNICEF has worked closely with UNESCO and members of the Education Sectorial Committee of the Somalia Aid Coordination Body. Important national partners include the local authorities, communities and nongovernmental organizations, where they exist. 77. The focus of UNICEF on education in Somalia has been on system-wide education reforms, developing a curriculum in the Somali language, text books, improving standards of learning and developing education management information systems. 2. United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime 78. UNODC reported that, in general, its work to promote United Nations standards and norms in crime prevention and criminal justice throughout the criminal justice system sought to improve the human rights of suspects, the accused, detained and imprisoned 14
