UNICEF and ECHO: ECHO's creation

From the creator

UNICEF and the European Commission Humanitarian Aid Department (ECHO) have been helping children and women in emergencies since ECHOs founding in 1992. ECHO is UNICEFs second-largest donor. In 2008, it provided more than $50 million to help countries manage disaster preparedness and relief response, with a special focus on assisting children and women. As the challenges of providing humanitarian aid grow ever more complex, ECHO and UNICEF remain committed to their common vision: providing the most effective possible aid to women and children in need. In this video, ECHO Head of Communication Simon Horner talks about how ECHO was formed. To read more, visit http://www.unicef.org/ec/index.html
