The use of mobile technology in the project is part of the Comprehensive Child Development Programme(CCDP), which requires a multi-sector and inter-ministerial approach to ensure earlycaring for and nurturing children.

Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Viet Tien said the workshop served as avenue for relevant parties to discuss their roles to ensure coordination in planningand implementing the initiative.

The project will comprise eight modules in the fields of maternity care, infantcare, nutrition, early interaction, care for disabled children, clean water andenvironmental sanitation, comprehensive child development and surveying.

It will be piloted in 27 disadvantaged communes in the Central Highlandsprovinces of Kon Tum and Gia Lai and the northern mountainous province of Dien Bien.
