Title: High-Level UNICEF Delegation Calls on Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma
Press Release Number:
14/05/2026
Description:
Speaking during the meeting, Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri Conrad K. Sangma said that Meghalaya’s development strategy is centered on human development and building long-term institutional systems rather than isolated scheme-based interventions.
He noted that the State has consciously adopted an integrated approach, bringing together multiple departments, programmes, and stakeholders to address the life-cycle needs of citizens—from early childhood to adolescence and beyond.
The Chief Minister highlighted that over the last eight years, Meghalaya has made significant progress in addressing key developmental challenges such as maternal mortality, infant mortality, immunization gaps, malnutrition, and adolescent development through innovative, data-driven, and community-led interventions.
He emphasized the importance of documentation, evidence-based policymaking, and digital monitoring systems in ensuring measurable outcomes, adding that Meghalaya is building a development model that can potentially serve as a reference for other states facing similar challenges.
The Chief Minister invited UNICEF to continue supporting the State through technical expertise, documentation of best practices, knowledge exchange, and partnerships with development institutions and CSR stakeholders to further scale successful interventions
