The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has pledged to continue support for Vietnam in child minding, conforming to the country’s 2016-2020 socio-economic development plan.
The commitment was made at a workshop co-hosted by UNICEF and the Ministry of Planning and Investment in Hanoi on October 9.
At the event, Deputy Minister Dao Quang Thu and UNICEF Deputy Representative in Vietnam Jesper Moller described the work as a fundamental factor for Vietnam ’s sustainable growth.
The ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child illustrated the Vietnamese Government’s commitment to ensuring high-quality services for children, they said.
Participants proposed areas of priorities for the development of children in line with the national scheme, including education, health and social welfares.
UNICEF and development partners can help Vietnam ’s relevant ministries and agencies improve the result-based public financial management system to ensure funds for the childcare work in the long run, said Jesper Moller.
Over the past years, Vietnam has issued many policies and laws on children such as the Law on Protection, Care and Education of Children and the Law on Adoption, according to the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs.-VNA
