Personal Action Plan to Deliver Sustainable Development Goals. UNICEF

Résumé ou Introduction

Humanitarian organisations, such as UNICEF, strive to provide the best services to the people that they serve. They want to do so in an ethical, socially responsible, and sustainable manner. This paper explored how UNICEF can implement programmes that facilitate realisation of the SDGs. The paper found that for UNICEF to achieve this objective, it will have to uphold high ethical standards and clarify the responsibilities of different actors and stakeholders. The leadership must be accountable to both the organisation and the stakeholders. In relation to ethical leadership, UNICEF must make sustainability the focal point of their strategies and ensure that its activities are viable. Leaders must also be innovative and resourceful in building necessary partnerships to achieve UNICEF’s mission. Through effective ethical and responsible leadership, the organisation will be able to address challenges, such as efficiency in resource use, fairness and justice, and duplication of functions. In conclusion, the paper identified good leadership as the most important pillar in overcoming organisational challenges.
