Provision of Payment Agency Services for UNICEF Cash Transfer Projects in Yemen

Item Description:

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) was created by the United Nations General Assembly on 11 December 1946, to provide emergency food and healthcare to children in countries that had been devastated by World War II. In 1950, UNICEF’s mandate was extended to address the long-term needs of children and women in developing countries everywhere. In 1953 it became a permanent part of the United Nations System, and the words “international” and “emergency” were dropped from the organization’s name, making it simply the United Nations Children’s Fund, retaining the original acronym, “UNICEF”.

UNICEF in Yemen has a requirement for the Provision of Payment Agency Services for UNICEF Cash Transfer Projects in Yemen: Banks or micro-credit institutions that have the capacity to deliver cash transfer benefits to eligible beneficiaries at national or regional level with an acceptable geographic coverage of delivery points for the Project within Yemen.
