UNICEF Malaysia is a unique country office in that it is in an upper middle-income country, but one with significant remaining disparities and inequalities where both advocacy and programming approaches are required. UNICEF adds value by influencing the development narrative of the country through quality evidence generation, evidence-based advocacy and policy recommendations, supported by partnerships and alliances with civil society, the private sector, academia, and think tanks. UNICEF has worked in Malaysia continuously since 1964. Visit this link for more information on UNICEF in Malaysia: https://www.unicef.org/Malaysia/
