The FC Barcelona Foundation and UNICEF signed its first agreement in September 2006 for a duration of five years. That agreement provided for the donation, by FC Barcelona,  of 1.5 million euros per year to Unicef,  to perform together, projects in the fight against AIDS. The understanding also included incorporating the logo of the UN Children's Agency on the front of the FC Barcelona football shirt. 
In 2011 this agreement was renewed for five more years, in which FC Barcelona will continue to donate 1.5 million euros annually, to Unicef,  to implement, together, projects based on the promotion of education through sport. The renewal of the agreement also includes the Unicef logo on the back of the FC Barcelona football shirt.
From 2006 to 2011 the programs implemented have helped in the fight against AIDS, principally in three African countries: Swaziland, Malawi and Angola.
The FC Barcelona Foundation and UNICEF are currently discussing the new lines of work for the coming years

In the framework of this alliance various awareness campaigns have been developed, with the participation of FC Barcelona players, like the one launched on the 21st of March 2011 called "Put Racism Offside", starring Messi, Pique and Keita.

'Youth voices against racism' is another project coming out of this understanding, which presented a series of recommendations to the European Parliament, promoted by young people and teenagers, against racism and violence in football.

Thanks to this agreement it has also been achieved that football clubs belong to ECA (European Clubs Association) include anti-racist clauses in their players  contracts.

Both entities launch awareness campaigns and joint actions to eradicate polio, a disease that has reduced worldwide by some 99% and has become one of the best examples of the value of life-saving vaccines. This disease, that previously paralysed children around the world, now exists in only four countries, Nigeria, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, areas where polio transmission have never been stopped before.

Both entities have launched the 'Partnership for sport and development. On the road to the 2014 World Cup, and the 2016 Olympics ', a project launched in Rio de Janeiro also counting on the collaboration of the Rio de Janeiro Town Hall, the NBA, and the Mapfre Foundation.
The project strengthens 18 ‘Olympic Villages' (sports facilities within the 'favelas' of Rio), which help to promote social inclusion through sport. The initiative is based on the use of sport as a vehicle to improve the lives of vulnerable children and young people and tp promote activities for conflict resolution, violence prevention, and employment generation.
The project is being developed, amongst other areas, in the complex Alemão, one of the most disadvantaged areas of the city. This initiative seeks to achieve sustainability beyond the scope of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics . More than 140,000 people from deprived areas in the city will benefit from this project.

The project is to benefit children most vulnerable from Colombia and the Hispanic community in the U.S. who are at risk of social exclusion. In this country the project is being developed with the collaboration of the YMCA of Greater Miami (Young Men's Christian Association), at North Pointe Centre, a community with limited resources in this city.

The collaboration agreement with the FC Barcelona Foundation promotes and uses sport as a tool for the development and social integration of Argentine children and young people.

The signing of the agreement aims to encourage joint work for the children and young people in the areas of Argentina most affected by poverty.

The aim of both foundations is to promote the education, health, sport and development of the most disadvantaged areas of the country.
