Le Fonds des Nations unies pour l’enfance (Unicef) plaide pour l’augmentation du budget de l’État destiné aux secteurs sociaux. « L’analyse de la loi de finances sur la période 2022-2026 révèle que les budgets alloués aux secteurs sociaux sont insuffisants, inégalement répartis et faiblement exécutés, avec des taux parfois inférieurs à 50 %», a souligné la représentante résidente de l’Unicef à Madagascar, Christine Jaulmes, dans son discours, lors de la session de plaidoyer de haut niveau auprès des commissions parlementaires sur le budget des secteurs sociaux sensibles aux enfants au Novotel Alarobia, hier.  La Loi de finances rectificative (LFR) accentue la vulnérabilité des secteurs sociaux, avec une diminution des budgets alloués à l’éducation et à l’accès à l’eau. Ce recul est particulièrement préoccupant pour le secteur eau, dont le budget avait déjà été réduit par rapport à l’année 2025.  « Pour l’année 2026, le projet de LFR a alloué 2,7 % du budget au secteur Eau, assainissement et hygiène, soit une ...

The United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (Unicef) on Thursday said it was increasingly “alarmed” by reports of AI-generated sexualised images involving children, calling on governments and the AI industry to prevent the creation and dissemination of such content. In a statement, the UN agency said, “The harm from deepfake abuse is real and urgent. Children cannot wait for the law to catch up.” “Deepfakes — images, videos, or audio generated or manipulated with Artificial Intelligence designed to look real — are increasingly being used to produce sexualised content involving children through ‘nudification,’ where AI tools are used to strip or alter clothing in photos to create fabricated nude or sexualised images,” Unicef said in its statement. It added that the “unprecedented” situation presented new challenges for “prevention, education, legal frameworks, and response and support services for children”. But, current prevention efforts were “insufficient when sexual content can be artificially generated”,...

Amid global cuts in education funding, the UN agency for children (Unicef) has projected that an estimated six million additional children could be out of school worldwide by the end of 2026, with around one-third of them in humanitarian settings. The projection was made in an new analysis, according to a Unicef press release issued on Wednesday, which said that the Official Development Assistance for education was estimated to fall by $3.2 billion — a 24 per cent drop from 2023 — with just three donor governments accounting for nearly 80 per cent of the cuts. “Such a decline would push the number of out-of-school children worldwide from 272m to 278m — the equivalent of emptying every primary school in Germany and Italy combined,” it added. The press release quoted Unicef Executive Director Catherine Russell as saying, “Every dollar cut from education is not just a budgetary decision, it is a child’s future hanging in the balance.” “Education, especially in emergency settings, often serves as a lifeline, conn...
