El programa se centrará en tres esferas prioritarias, identificadas en consulta con entidades nacionales y que estarán alineadas con el Plan Nacional de Desarrollo Económico y Social hasta 2030, los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible y tres de los cinco objetivos del Plan Estratégico del UNICEF para 2018-2021: cada niño sobrevive y prospera; cada niño aprende y cada niño está protegido de la violencia y la explotación.
