UNICEF Partnership Agreement on Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT)
World Scouting and UNICEF has had a long history of collaboration. As early as 1979, the Scouts and UNICEF began their work together, focusing on child health. World Scouting's involvement with UNICEF in the field of child health increased in 1985 when the Scouts were asked to participate in UNICEF's “Child Survival and Development Revolution” campaign.
Finally, in 1994, they formalized their series of exchanges and cooperation by signing a Partnership Agreement on Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT). This agreement challenged both organisations to focus their efforts on the promotion of ORT on a worldwide scale in developing and industrialized countries. Furthermore, by choosing to focus their future joint health activities on ORT, both organisations recognised the importance of primary health care in the lives of children and the greater community.
