Patna, Bihar, 06 September 2008: With the humanitarian crisis due to unprecedented floods in northern Bihar continuing, the UNICEF India Country Representative Ms. Karin Hulshof today reaffirmed the UN agency's commitment to work with the government and partners to provide relief to the flood-hit people of the state, especially the most vulnerable children and women.
"In any disaster, children and women are most vulnerable to disease and distress. We heard from the government that the flood affected children and women are their top priority" she said at a visit to the state capital yesterday. "We were in Bihar yesterday, we are there today and will be there tomorrow" Ms. Karin Hulshof said, emphasizing UNICEF's continued and long term support to the children and women of Bihar.In a meeting with Mr. R.J.M. Pillai, IAS, Chief Secretary, Government of Bihar (GoB) responsible for overseeing the relief efforts, Hulshof said that NICEF will continue to partner with the government and others in the flood-affected districts through the response as well as the rehabilitation stage. "Our endeavor will be to support the government to build back better," she said.
The meeting was also attended by Mr. S. Vijayaraghavan, Development Commissioner, GoB, Mr. Deepak Kumar, Principal Secretary, Department of Health and Family Welfare, and Mr. Anshul Arya, Additional Commissioner, Home.
Earlier, while flagging off five truckloads of relief material from the Institute of Public Administration and Rural Development, Hulshof said that UNICEF's immediate priority is to work with the government to ensure that children and women receive medicines, supplementary nutrition, clean drinking water and access to sanitation.
Besides, UNICEF has provided mobility support for deployment of 44 doctors and 29 paramedics from the districts not affected by floods to flood-affected districts. A disease surveillance system has also been set up with UNICEF's support in five of the worst affected districts.
UNICEF relief material that include life jackets, medical tents for childbirth, over 500,000 water purifying tablets, 200-litre capacity water tanks, over 2,500 bags of bleaching powder, 65,000 Oral Rehydration Salt (ORS) and other materials like Albendazole tablets, buckets and mugs, tarpaulin, Vitamin A, water tanks, first-aid kits, midwifery kits and health kits have already reached the worst-affected districts.
For addressing the special nutritional needs of children and pregnant and lactating women, 16 temporary Anganwadi Centres are being set up and more are planned. Working with the government, UNICEF is supporting a massive campaign to vaccinate children in relief camps against measles and polio and provide Vitamin A supplementation that will help increase their immunity levels. It is also setting up water storage tanks, organizing chlorination of drinking water and providing training for promotion of hygiene practices.

HIV/AIDS
© UNICEF IndiaLiving with aids is not so bleak as most people fear.
The first case of HIV/AIDS was reported in India in Tamil Nadu in 1986. Since then the virus has spread from the high-risk groups to the general population very fast. Today, there are 5.7 million people living with HIV/AIDS in India.
Women and ChildrenWomen and children are increasingly becoming vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. The new findings conclude that 38% of the infected persons in India are women. This indicates the increasing feminization of HIV/AIDS in India. This alarming trend is being observed closely as more HIV positive mothers will unknowingly pass the virus on to their children.
India has an estimated 220,000 children infected by HIV/AIDS. It is estimated that 55,000 to 60,000 children are born every year to mothers who are HIV positive. Without treatment, these newborns stand an estimated 30% chance of becoming infected during the mother’s pregnancy, labor or through breastfeeding after six months. There is effective treatment available, but this is not reaching all women and children who need it.
Young People Over 35% of AIDS cases reported are below 25 years of age and 50% of new infections are between 15 and 24 years old. The current HIV/AIDS programmes are reaching only 15% of young people and 17% of high-risk groups such as sex workers, men who have sex with men and injecting drug users. Less than one quarter of young people have accurate information on how to protect themselves from HIV which, coupled with profound gender inequalities, make change in sexual attitudes and practices very difficult. It is estimated that there are 200 million young people in high prevalence and vulnerable districts who need access to information, skills and services to reduce their vulnerability to HIV infection.

A simple anti-retroviral drug administered to the mother during labour and a spoonful of syrup to the baby soon after birth can prevent transmission of the AIDS virus to the newborn.
Primary prevention among young people is the greatest hope to change the course of the epidemic in India. As a result, the Adolescent Education Programme was conceived by UNICEF, NACO, Ministry of Education, UNESCO and UNFPA. The programme was implemented in all states across the country through the Department of Education (DoE) in collaboration with the State AIDS Control Societies (SACS). The curriculum includes growing up, HIV/AIDS, life skills and extra curricular activities. Already, 110,000 of the 150,000 high schools in India trained teachers and peer educators to pass on life skills and preventive messages. On 1st December 2006, 25 best performing teachers were given national awards for imparting knowledge of HIV/AIDS amongst students.UNICEF Areas of WorkAs a part of the joint UN response to HIV/AIDS in India and within the context of National Aids Control Plan III, UNICEF collaborates with the Government of India and other partners in four key areas we call the 4 Ps: 1.Primary prevention 2.Prevention of parent-to-child transmission (PPTCT) 3.Paediatric HIV/AIDS 4.Protection, care and support for affected children

UNICEF in Emergencies
Since its inception, UNICEF’s mandate has involved a rapid response to humanitarian crises.
Originally called the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund, the organisation was created to provide humanitarian assistance to children living in a world shattered by the Second World War.
Though emergencies have grown increasingly complex and their impacts ever more devastating, UNICEF remains dedicated to providing life-saving assistance to children affected by disasters, and to protecting their rights.
UNICEF is guided in its emergency response by its Core Commitments for Children in Emergencies (CCCs), which build on our experiences in recent crises and outline the core responses at all levels of the organisation.
These include our initial response when an emergency breaks out as well as the timeframe for a sustained response in communities affected by an emergency.
The first guiding principle of UNICEF’s humanitarian emergency response is that children in the midst of conflict or natural disaster have the same needs and rights as children in stable areas.
Emergencies in India
Over the last two decades, India has borne the brunt of several major natural disasters including the Latur Earthquake in 1993; the Orissa super-cyclone in October 1999, the Bhuj earthquake in January 2001, the Tsunami in December 2004, the earthquake in Jammu & Kashmir in October 2005 and major flooding in Bihar and other states in 2007.
In addition, a number of relatively smaller-scale emergencies, primarily floods, but also droughts, landslides, cholera and avian flu outbreaks have occurred.
Tens of millions people are affected annually in India, most of them from the poorest strata of the population, a high proportion of whom are children.
UNICEF has been able to effectively respond to emergencies in India by complementing the government’s efforts.
Notably, in recent years UNICEF has consistently been a major humanitarian player, providing immediate response to each crisis and assuming a great responsibility for the well-being of the affected.
UNICEF’s role has been highly appreciated by the Government of India and other partners.
Most importantly, UNICEF’s interventions have contributed to the prevention of epidemics and to alleviating the adverse impact of disasters on the well-being of the most vulnerable among the communities affected, particularly the children.
Uniting for Children in Emergencies
UNICEF works in collaboration with local and international partners, including governments, UN agencies, and civil society.
These partnerships are crucial to ensuring comprehensive and effective delivery of humanitarian assistance.
Key partners for UNICEF India include the Union Government’s National Disaster Management Authority, Sphere India, RedR India, and the Indian Red Cross Society.
Additionally, UNICEF is an active member of the UN Disaster Management Team (UNDMT) in India.
With it’s network of 13 field offices covering 16 states in India – UNICEF has played a critical role in times of crisis by gathering information, conducting rapid assessments and providing a platform for the UNDMT to coordinate the UN system’s response in areas where it has a presence.
While UNICEF is ready to respond to a humanitarian crisis anywhere in India, emergency preparedness efforts are primarily focused on disaster-prone states.
Preparing for Emergencies
The principal goal of UNICEF’s Emergency Preparedness and Response Programme in India has been to ensure the fulfilment of the rights of children and women in humanitarian crises.
UNICEF’s current response capacity owes a great deal to its preparedness arrangements which include Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans in each office; pre-positioning of essential emergency items in disaster-prone states; institutional partnerships with key organisations which allows for improved coordination, emergency training and capacity building, and rapid deployment of pre-screened consultants, etc.
In line with the government’s strategic policy shift from response to preparedness, UNICEF has also adopted a gradual shift in its programme priorities.
While maintaining its readiness to ensure fulfilment of its responsibilities as per the Core Commitments for Children, UNICEF has initiated various disaster management interventions. The key concept is promotion of Community-Based Disaster Preparedness (CBDP) activities in selected vulnerable areas.
Limited in scope, but successful experiences in CBDP interventions in several states have proven to help build the capacities of vulnerable communities to prepare for, respond to and recover from the impacts of disasters.
Based on best practices and lessons learned from earlier experiences, UNICEF has planned to expand CBDP across the country, including in urban areas.
