UNICEF

Support to UNICEF consists of both core and earmarked contributions. UNICEF's activities in Palestine have been strengthened as a part of the government's emphasis on the Middle East. Icelandic civilian experts have also worked on temporary projects under the auspices of the Icelandic Crisis Response Unit for UNCIEF in the region. The government, in cooperation with the National Committee of UNICEF in Iceland, also supported a health project in the West African state of Guinea Bissau. In 2010, Iceland had a seat on UNICEF's executive board.
