Ms Veneman would be in the country to participate in the High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness from the September 2 to 4.
Mrs Sandra Fiamanya, Media Relations Official at UNICEF, Ghana office, who had a pre-meeting with journalists in Accra said UNICEF was interested in knowing questions that bothered Ghanaian journalists, especially on children.
UNICEF is involved in a lot of activities in Ghana to ensure that children have a right to education and good health, and also to create a protective environment for children especially in emergencies.
Ms Fiamanya commenting about Ms Veneman said: "Her vision at UNICEF includes instilling a 'sense of urgency' about the Millennium Development Goals and their 2015 deadline as well as ensuring that the agency's policies and programmes are oriented around achieving them."
