Capstone Integrative Project Final Solution Assessment
As revealed by United Nations Children’s Fund’s (UNICEF) Progress for Children
report, a child today has a greater chance of survival than he or she did at the beginning of the
millennium. With various programs in place to address child abuse and neglect, UNICEF is
ensuring that inequities are addressed. The work and effort of UNICEF’s humanitarian workers
has reduced inequities related to education, gender, and health among disenfranchised young
populations and ensured progress for them. These workers are often confronted with challenging
work environments, which places them at risk of psychological distress (UNICEF, 2015). A
framework to strengthen resilience among the workers will be recommended to mitigate this
distress. Despite the efforts UNICEF has made to alleviate child abuse and neglect, the
implementation of its programs suffers from certain weaknesses. These weaknesses can be
addressed through inter-organizational collaborations.
UNICEF’s Strengths and Weaknesses
Over the years, UNICEF’s reach has broadened to include millions of children around the
world whose lives have been affected by poverty, conflict, and disasters. It has evolved from its
emergency beginnings, when it came into existence in the aftermath of World War II and
delivered emergency assistance to children in need. At present, UNICEF is working in
emergency and non-emergency settings to enhance the well-being of children (Young, 2011).
The following are examples of the strengths and weaknesses of UNICEF’s program
implementation:
Strengths
• Over the course of a decade, UNICEF’s program promoting exclusive breastfeeding in the
first six months of life bore fruit, with significant progress in several countries throughout

Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Ghana rose from a mere 7% in 1990 to 63% in 2008
(Young, 2011).
• By 2012, the number of out-of-school children reduced from 104 million to 58 million
(UNICEF, 2015).
• Until 2015, a 53% reduction in child mortality rates was recorded. A majority of the burden
of these deaths is borne by Africa and Asia (UNICEF, 2015).
• Since 2001, there has been a 58% reduction in new HIV infections among the 0–14 year age
group (UNICEF, 2015).
• Since the early 2000s, UNICEF and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have
been working with other partners to conduct a series of regional workshops on the use of
home fortification interventions to improve programs for infant and young child feeding,
focusing primarily on micronutrient powders (Jefferds, Irizarry, Timmer, & Tripp, 2013).
• Diarrhea is the second leading cause of death among children under the age of five and is
responsible for the death of around 760,000 children every year. To address the reduction of
such fatalities, UNICEF and WHO came up with a 7-point diarrhea control and prevention
strategy (Ali et al., 2017).
Weaknesses
• Despite the reduction in the rate of stunting, rural children are still two times more likely to
be stunted than urban children (UNICEF, 2015).
• As a result of existing disparities based on gender, disability, and other social indicators, the
poorest children remain five times more likely to be out of school than the richest children
(UNICEF, 2015).

• The poorest children are almost two times more likely to die before the age of five than the
richest children (UNICEF, 2015).
• A study conducted to test the strategy’s robustness revealed that there exist gaps between
knowledge and awareness around links between immunization and diarrhea prevention,
exclusive breastfeeding and diarrhea prevention, continued breastfeeding during diarrhea,
and the use of zinc in the treatment of diarrhea (Ali et al., 2017).
• A majority of the mothers who were a part of the study were aware of the use of oral
rehydration solution (ORS) in the treatment of diarrhea. Despite that, only a third of the
children received ORS during the illness. This was a result of unavailability of ORS in the
local market and unawareness of the exact terminology used for the product. Another
dimension that was found to link awareness with use of ORS and zinc is the training and
health human resource capacity of facility-level staff and of frontline health workers (Ali et
al., 2017).
• The study also revealed that health human resources were unaware of standard treatment
protocols of the government and did not receive any formal training on diarrhea prevention,
control, and treatment. Frontline health workers required training on infant and young child
feeding practices, engaging with mothers, and identifying the danger signs of diarrhea (Ali et
al., 2017).
• International and UN agencies failed to protect Palestinian children from violence
perpetrated by Israeli authorities and settlers. This has not, however, affected the reputation
and standing of these organizations. They are rarely questioned about giving into political
pressure, which consequently reduces their stated aims and values.
CAPSTONE INTEGRATIVE PROJECT 5

• Certain practices (such as the manner in which Palestinian children are treated) keep
concerted critique away. Psychosocial programming is always based on the assumption that
young Palestinians are vulnerable, passive, and in dire need of psychological and emotional
support (Hart & Forte, 2013).
• According to Mearsheimer and Walt, the close and dependent relationship between child
protection organizations and major Western governments has constrained the work of these
organizations accordingly. For instance, UNICEF was reluctant to take a strong public stand
and challenge the Israeli government’s violations as a signatory of the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international legal instruments. According to
several interviewees in the book, this reluctance was primarily attributed to a fear of
alienating donors and those with political influence in the United States, where the pro-Israel
lobby was immensely powerful (Hart & Forte, 2013).
• UNICEF’s possibly toughened resolve to address Israeli violations was highlighted in its
2013 report on the treatment of Palestinian children in the Israeli military justice system.
According to Lyons, instances of conflict within the organization related to the release of the
report and failure to clearly use the word “torture” within the text indicated that this resolve
is far from universal and could possibly be short-lived if donor pressure is strongly exerted
(as cited in Hart & Forte, 2013).
These statements make it evident that despite the programs that are currently in place,
factors such as lack of resources, improperly trained staff, gender inequalities, and disparities
among the rich and the poor do not allow for a reduction in the existing inequalities.
Theoretical Framework for Resilience among Humanitarian Workers

UNICEF is tirelessly working toward addressing issues such as child mortality, extreme
poverty, stunting, infant and young child feeding, equity in education, and gender inequality. The
extensive data available also projects encouraging outcomes. However, the occurrence of a large
number of disasters results in complex and multiparty disaster relief operations, which leads to
limited information availability and transparency, replication of efforts, insufficient resources
and funding, and issues related to accountability and coordination (Jahre, Pazirandeh, & Van
Wassenhove, 2016).
Additionally, humanitarian workers face chronic stress and trauma while working in the
field. According to research, the longer these workers are deployed, the greater their risk of
burnout and depression. The burnout is apparent because some people suffer from a psychotic
break or even attempt suicide. For others, burnout takes over their passion slowly. Responding to
international disasters or humanitarian crises places humanitarian workers at risk of mental
health problems. In 2012, the Antares Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention carried out a series of research studies that looked at traumatic stress and other mental
health problems among relief workers. These studies revealed that 20 to 25% of the humanitarian
workers in Iraq, Jordan, Uganda, and Sri Lanka exhibited symptoms of post-traumatic stress
disorder. More than 50% of them were depressed, and about half of the total workers
experienced anxiety. One of these studies, which evaluated the mental health of more than 200
international humanitarian workers, revealed that the prevalence of symptoms of depression
doubled post deployment and that signs of anxiety increased at a similar rate (Troutman, 2017).
Apart from dealing with mental health problems, humanitarian workers also face the risk
of violence. As per the Aid Worker Security Database, more than 287 humanitarian workers
were victims of violence in 2015. The victims, mostly national or local staff, constitute more
CAPSTONE INTEGRATIVE PROJECT 7

than 90% of humanitarian aid workers. Because they earn a fraction of what international
workers do, local or national workers are unable to access mental health care. Studies show that
only a few humanitarian organizations have policies in place that provide mental health care to
their workers. In a 2013 report, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees stated that
the lack of mental health support was a serious problem among humanitarian organizations
(Troutman, 2017).
A need to reinforce resilience among UNICEF’s humanitarian workers exists due to the
complex nature of their work. In the field of humanitarian relief, there is still no agreement on
the definition of resilience. However, some consensus exists on the fact that psychological
resilience is related to an individual’s ability to adapt after a traumatic event (Brooks et al.,
2015). The existing literature does not focus on resilience in the context of human services.
Theoretical frameworks do not explain the ways in which resilience can be practiced and only
focus on the factors affecting it. They take only the organization’s point of view into account
(Brooks et al., 2015; van Breda, 2016; Arrogante & Aparicio-Zaldivar, 2017).
For instance, Adamson, Beddoe, and Davys’s (2014) framework takes into account the
core characteristics of workers, their personal and professional histories, and their values and
ethics for the cultivation of resilience. Factors such as the connection between stressors and
strengths at home or the workplace and work–life balance underpin the sustainability of
resilience. Key factors to the development of resilience are coping behaviors in addition to casual
support from peers and formal supervision. The framework proposed by van Breda (2016)
concentrates on an organization’s need to develop resilience. The framework is divided into three
components, the first of which focuses on the organization as a system instead of the individuals
who are part of it. The second component addresses the need for resilience among the staff.
CAPSTONE INTEGRATIVE PROJECT 8

However, an organization is not just a system or a group of individuals; it is also meant to serve
communities. The third component addresses the resilience orientation of the organization’s
delivery of services to the concerned communities. Instead of outsourcing the service delivery,
the organization’s staff should carry out the same, because this will contribute to its resilience.
The organization will become stronger when it pays attention to all three components. It will
strengthen when it is rooted in the social context of the community it is serving and is aware of
the strengths and weaknesses of that community’s social system. van Breda’s framework is not
comprehensive enough to concentrate on the ways in which resilience can be strengthened
among UNICEF’s workers.
Dunkley (2018) provides a practical approach for human services organizations through
which resilience can be strengthened. Her framework shifts its focus toward the humanitarian
workers in these organizations. Implementing Dunkley’s resilience practices in UNICEF will
provide workers with a psychosocial support system before their deployment and until they
resume a normal life. Pre-deployment consultation programs should include trauma awareness
courses in which the workers can develop appropriate responses when confronted with a
traumatic incident. The programs should also include teaching workers how to provide
immediate psychosocial support to their team members in the aftermath of a traumatic event.
Courses containing exercises for stress management will allow workers to identify their stress
cycles. These programs could also teach workers how to protect themselves against the threat of
violence and survive kidnapping and hostage-taking situations. Following the recognition of
risks tied to the workers’ mental health or lifestyle or in the occurrence of requests made by
them, they may require mid-deployment consultations. These consultations may contribute to
increasing motivation and a boost in energy levels. Post-deployment consultations will allow the

workers to share their experiences and emotions and will also help in recognizing the factors that
lead to trauma or burnout (Dunkley, 2018).
Cultural and Ethical Considerations
UNICEF’s current global presence spans 190 countries. With 21 of its country offices
spread across Europe and Central Asia, the organization is working with and for disadvantaged
children and adolescents through its country-specific programs. There are considerable equity
gaps in this region in terms of the fulfillment of children’s rights. Children who are poor,
disabled, belong to a certain ethnic community, and live in residential institutions or juvenile
detention have a higher chance than others to lose out on opportunities. These children are
bearing the brunt of the world’s biggest refugee and migrant crises, having fled from countries
including Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and Sudan. UNICEF also has programs in place to
respond to the needs of refugee and migrant women and children in Austria, Germany, Greece,
and Italy (UNICEF, 2015).
UNICEF operates in 24 countries in West and Central Africa. Its diversity is not limited
to culture, beliefs, languages, and lifestyles. It extends to binaries of stability and conflict, of
affluence and poverty. The organization is concentrating its efforts on eight key areas—
immunization, stunting and malnutrition, education, violence, child marriage, birth registration,
sanitation, and open defecation (UNICEF).
South Asia’s vast geographic, ecological, and cultural diversity make it unique; however,
the region continues to be unstable and vulnerable in social, economic, and environmental terms.
The region is dealing with challenges such as inadequate provision of public facilities, poor
urban governance, lack of effective social protection systems, rise in urban poverty, and gender
inequality. It ranks third highest in terms of violence against children and has the largest number
CAPSTONE INTEGRATIVE PROJECT 10

of out-of-school children and youth. The incidence of child marriage still remains the highest in
South Asia. Because several countries in the region are plagued by conflict or terrorism, heavy
state expenditure is driven toward defense, leaving limited resources for education, health, and
welfare. UNICEF has been working toward ensuring the provision of basic services such as
education and health care. It has also been working to improve the participation and inclusion of
children and adolescents in the process of development (UNICEF).
With UNICEF’s programs spread across diverse territories and multicultural societies, its
workers often work with individuals who do not speak the language they do or those who come
from different cultures. These individuals might suffer from post-traumatic experiences and were
probably subjected to racism and discrimination (Bø, 2015). It is important for UNICEF’s
workers to work in accordance with the social and cultural needs of these populations. This will
lead to greater satisfaction among the stakeholders, desirable program outcomes, and increased
cost efficiency (Galanti, 2014).
Cultural competence is increasingly assuming importance as a prerequisite for any job
involving personal interaction with diverse groups while also being upheld as a desirable moral
value in the workplace (Harrison & Turner, 2011). Cultural competence can be cultivated by first
creating a clear perception of one’s personal culture and prejudices, followed by developing
sensitivity toward the cultures of others, and then acknowledging these cultural differences. This
is followed by acquiring knowledge and understanding of other cultures, especially their values
and beliefs, and finally applying this knowledge to ensure better outcomes and efficiency
(Galanti, 2014). It is important for humanitarian workers to know the different existing
ideologies surrounding family life, gender roles, and child-rearing practices that form a part of
different societies. Being culturally competent also involves the ability to follow cultural codes
CAPSTONE INTEGRATIVE PROJECT 11

of respect with regard to age, gender, and position; to create good relationships; and to
communicate despite cultural and linguistic differences. It is important for workers to be aware
of the discrimination faced by ethnic minorities as well as ensure that these minorities receive the
public help they are entitled to. Culturally competent workers need to be aware of the rights of
the specific populations they deal with and should be able to utilize existing resources (Bø,
2015).
Solutions for Improvement
In the context of humanitarian work, critical incidents will continue to occur while
workers will continue to face the risk of violence. In order to make them feel supported by their
organization and help them recover, Dunkley’s resilience framework (2018) should be embedded
into UNICEF’s organizational culture.
For UNICEF to address the gaps in its implementation of various relief programs and
strategies, it needs to improve upon its coordination between the regional actors involved in the
relief process. A 2009 evaluation report of its 7-point diarrhea control and prevention strategy in
four districts of Uttar Pradesh revealed various demand and supply-side issues such as lack of
awareness among mothers about the importance of immunization and the relation between
diarrhea and exclusive breastfeeding. In the study area, 28% of the mothers did not wash their
hands after defecation, and 36% of them did not wash their hands after cleaning their child’s
feces (Ali et al., 2017).
The study also found gaps in knowledge and awareness among the mothers about the link
between exclusive breastfeeding, immunization, and diarrhea prevention and the use of zinc in
diarrhea treatment. UNICEF workers, especially frontline health workers, deal with diverse
populations belonging to different cultures. It is important for them to be trained on how to deal

with mothers. They must be provided with formal training on breastfeeding, young child feeding
practices, and standard treatment protocols for diseases such as diarrhea (Ali et al., 2017).
According to the study, only a third of the children received ORS during diarrhea due to
its unavailability in the local market and a lack of awareness about the exact terminology used
for the product. The unavailability of ORS was due to challenges in procurement and supply
chain management. Issues related to storage and distribution and transportation of supplies along
with the lack of adequate human resources at district and below district levels can be easily
addressed by better coordination and communication with regional actors. As far as the threats
children face from armed conflicts are concerned, there is need for an approach that will give
them a safe environment to live in. There needs to be greater consistency between global norms
and the reality of action on the ground. The decisions taken in this regard should not be dictated
or influenced by donors or be consequences of political strategy (Hart & Forte, 2013).
Importance of Inter-Organizational Collaboration
According to Tomasini and Van Wassenhove and Thomas and Fritz, partnerships
between humanitarian organizations and businesses are expected to provide learning
opportunities for both parties (as cited in Nurmala, de Leeuw, & Dullaert, 2017). Schulz,
Blecken, Van Wassenhove, and Fikar, Gronalt and Hirsch stated that these learning outcomes
include improvements in the efficiency and capabilities of logistics in humanitarian
organizations. Partnerships with corporations will allow UNICEF to expand its own logistical
capabilities by providing insights into how corporations master the logistics process (as cited in
Nurmala, de Leeuw, & Dullaert, 2017). Muller and Kräussl state that for the business sector,
engagement in humanitarian–business partnerships will allow companies to project their

corporate responsiveness and corporate social responsibility and thereby improve their
reputations (as cited in Nurmala et al., 2017).
For instance, according to Maon et al. and Van Wassenhove, the five-year partnership
between logistics service provider Thomas Nationwide Transport and World Food Program
called “Moving the World” demonstrated that long-term partnerships can contribute to
increasing the capacity of aid networks and enhance the core competencies of both parties
involved (as cited in Nurmala et al., 2017). A second example, as stated by Rueede and Kreutzer,
is about the partnership between Deutsche Post DHL and United Nations Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs that solved the problem of bottlenecks such as damaged
infrastructure and unwanted relief goods at airports as well as improved the effectiveness of
humanitarian distribution networks (as cited in Nurmala et al., 2017). The third example, as
stated by Thomas and Fritz, talks about the partnership between American Red Cross and Abbot
Laboratories that increased the visibility and importance of supply chain management in the
humanitarian context (as cited in Nurmala et al., 2017).
In order to foster inter-organizational collaboration to address the issue of child abuse and
neglect and take steps to ensure its prevention, collaborative activities can be as simple as
informal communications. They can even be formal meetings of statewide professional
associations such as the California Mental Health Directors Association and regional and
national planning councils, which are based on a structure guided by certain policies. Such inter-
agency meetings will act as a platform for communication, negotiation, and strategic planning
(Palinkas et al., 2014). When the organizations involved share their vision and values, a sense of
accountability will be created. The accountability can exist through top-down reporting
requirements such as keeping the funder in the loop when it comes to data regarding a particular
CAPSTONE INTEGRATIVE PROJECT 14

program. According to Chang et al., collaboration will make room for co-learning, interaction,
and troubleshooting and does not mean simply enforcing requirements on the concerned
stakeholder groups to work with other stakeholder groups (as cited in Green et al., 2016). Inter-
organizational collaborations can help UNICEF strengthen the implementation of its programs
that address the problem of child abuse and neglect. These collaborations will make room for
better logistics, allowing for easy accessibility of the required resources and infrastructure.
Conclusion
UNICEF has made significant progress to reduce inequities among the disenfranchised
populations, a fact that is evident in the organization’s 2015 report. However, the challenges
related to the execution of programs addressing child abuse and neglect still remain. With the
organization’s presence spanning several countries with varying cultures, its humanitarian
workers face unique challenges in different territories. Some settings are riddled with conflict
and others have a dearth of resources, which leads to failure in the implementation of programs
addressing child abuse and neglect. Such situations call for not just the practice of resilience
among the workers, but also inter-organizational collaborations that can improve the
implementation of UNICEF’s programs. As demonstrated by examples in the previous section,
such collaborations have resulted in increased coordination and strengthened communication.
Apart from the suggested improvements for UNICEF, it is also imperative for its workers to have
flexible interpersonal skills; awareness about how collaborations between different organizations
work; and awareness of skills associated with community organizing, planning, development,
and management. This awareness will enable them to make important decisions and the changes
needed to revamp institutional infrastructure in their target areas.
