(1) UNICEF — the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (now officially the United Nations Children’s Fund, though the original abbreviation is retained). (2) WHO — the World Health Organisation.
Explanation
One mark each, and the marks are for writing the names out in FULL. For UNICEF the words "International" and "Emergency" are part of the original name and are exactly where candidates lose the mark. Facts worth a clause each: UNICEF was set up in 1946 and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965; the WHO was set up in 1948 with headquarters at Geneva.
