UNICEF 60th anniversary 1960-1979: the development decades
UNICEF was to provide more than just humanitarian relief: in addition to nutrition and health, education and family issues became an additional focus. UNICEF's work was now to become a key to global development.Education, of course, is central to fostering that
development, especially in the many newly independent nations in Africa, and fully half of UNICEF spending was dedicated to learning. UNICEF's work was in the global spotlight mid-decade, as Executive Director Henry Labouisse accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo.Public support and funds for children through the National Committees expanded, and the greeting card operation flourished. In Nigeria, a brutal civil war made it clear that emergencies - whether man-made or acts of nature - are the rule, not the exception in children's lives, and UNICEF did not lose sight of its roots, bringing emergency relief back to its program of long-term development aid.
