The grant from the Government of Japan will enable UNICEF to support nationwide immunization activities through procurement and distribution of vaccines, social mobilization of communities as well as malaria control activities. 125,000, long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets and anti-malaria medicines will be distributed for children and pregnant women throughout the country.
The initiative is a continuation of previous GOJ support to Liberian children and will further consolidate the Government of Liberia's achievements in child survival.
This new donation places the Government of Japan as the largest single direct donor to UNICEF Liberia over the last five years with a total contribution of more than $18 million.
These contributions have helped UNICEF play a vital role in supporting the government in providing life-saving activities, for the revitalization of communities, the reintegration of demobilized children, for post conflict reconstruction, the provision of safe water and improved sanitation and hygiene in areas of high population return.
