Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"By 1953, it had become clear that the needs of children were global in dimension, causing the General Assembly to give UNICEF permanent status and charging it to focus particular attention on the developing world, which is also reflected in the fact that for many years now, the majority of its thirty-six-member Executive Board have been from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Thanks to a succession of superb senior administrators, UNICEF has probably had the most successful track record of all the UN agencies, as is witnessed by the amounts of privately generated contributions to the fund each year. Governments, private foundations, local fund-raising efforts, and even airlines are all keen to show their support for this best of good causes."
