The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has urged African governments to prioritise domestic funding for child welfare and education, stressing the unpredictability of foreign aid and the need for sustainable domestic investment.
UNICEF’s Regional Director for West and Central Africa, Mr. Gilles Fagninou, made this call in Abuja on Monday.
He explained that while international partners and donors provide vital support, their contributions are often influenced by domestic constraints and economic fluctuations in their home countries.
