Save the Children (SC) is an international organization with 27 member organizations across the globe. 

It is united by a common mission and brand but, to some extent, has until now been working independently from country to country and within countries. 

With the decision by all Save the Children organizations to create an International Programmes Unit (IPU) taken in 2010, Save the Children aims to create a stronger voice for children by unifying the operations in all countries. 

This will result in one organisation at the national level in each country and a unified programme delivery structure for all Save the Children International Members. 

Save the Children UK, Denmark and Finland unifi ed in Somalia in January 2010 under the name Save the Children in Somalia which will move to the IPU model by the end of 2012.
After one year of unification and as a result of an active fundraising strategy the programme budget was over GBP 10m covering thematic areas of protection, child survival (which includes health, nutrition and livelihoods), education, and Child Rights Governance.
