The Private Sector Fundraising (PSFR) section within PFP works with National Committees and UNICEF Country Offices to maximize income and drive income growth.  There are five units within the PSFR section. The purpose of the Corporate Fundraising team is to drive income growth from the corporate sector as part of an integrated corporate engagement strategy. Income growth will come from two sources: supporting countries to develop and strengthen their corporate fundraising capacity and skills and through the proactive development of new partnerships by the PFP Corporate Fundraising unit.
