UNICEF TO FINANCE CHILDREN'S AID PROGRAMMES FROM CROATIAN SOURCES

ZAGREB, May 14 (Hina) - As of this year, UNICEF's office for Croatia will finance programmes for children's aid from donations by Croatian citizens and companies, the office head, Tanja Radocaj, said Wednesday. #L# During and after the Homeland War, the UNICEF gave around US$25 million to children in Croatia. The funds were collected from citizens, foundations and governments of developed countries around the world. After certain criteria, such as the mortality rate of children and gross domestic income, reached acceptable levels, the UNICEF ended its humanitarian phase, so future programmes will be financed from domestic sources, Radocaj said. The organisation will direct its new programmes to protecting children from violence and to improving the quality of education, which Croatian citizens underlined as the most important issues which needed solving for the benefit of children. A research conducted by the UNICEF indicates that 53 percent of citizens donated funds for humanitarian purposes in the past year. As many as 94 out of 100 questioned successful companies participated in donations or sponsorships, but mostly sponsored sports -- with 77 percent of the donated funds -- while only 20% were donated for assistance to children. Radocaj said that the UNICEF always assisted countries which could not collect funds for the basic needs of children, for example for vaccines. (hina) lml
