SEOUL, Republic of Korea, 10 May 2010 UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake today joined South Koreas Prime Minister, Un-Chan Chung, the heads of UNICEF National Committees and other dignitaries to formally open the 55th Annual Meeting of National Committees for UNICEF.
At his first major meeting since assuming the helm of the organization, Mr. Lake called upon those gathered to work together to advance the best interests of every child and to accelerate progress toward attaining the Millennium Development Goals by the target year of 2015.
UNICEF's National Committees represent the organization in developed countries and generate nearly one third of UNICEFs funds.
UNICEFs National Committees are a true lifeline that makes everything we do possible, said Mr. Lake.
Beyond fundraising, UNICEFs National Committees promote public awareness and the fulfillment of child rights in their respective countries.
