UNICEF office in Azerbaijan to cease operations

The UNICEF office in Azerbaijan will cease its operations in the coming months, Iryna Mazur, Regional Chief of Communication for UNICEF in Europe and Central Asia, told Report.

According to her, the process will be carried out gradually over the next few months.

"UNICEF will continue to engage with partners in Azerbaijan through its regional office and headquarters," she added.

Mazur noted that since 1993, UNICEF has worked alongside the Government of Azerbaijan to provide essential services and support for children.

"Over the past 30 years, our collaboration has contributed to reducing child mortality, expanding access to quality education, and strengthening child protection systems," she said.
