UNICEF stands ready to support the Government in implementing this important law and in continuing to invest in teachers as the cornerstone of a resilient, inclusive, and high-quality education system for all children.

Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan on December 7 emphasised that the entire political system, organisations and individuals have joined hands in childcare activities when she chaired a meeting of the National Fund for Vietnamese Children (NFVC) Sponsorship Council.

Vice Chairman of the HCM City People’s Committee Duong Anh Duc hosted a reception for UNICEF Representative in Vietnam Rana Flowers on May 5 to discuss the future cooperation between the two sides.

The northern provinces of Hung Yen and Vinh Phuc are working to improve childcare in response to a nationwide month-long campaign to protect children.

The National Fund for Vietnamese Children (NFVC) has raised more than 5.5 trillion VND (241.8 million USD) and thousands of tonnes of gifts for some 30 million children since it was founded 25 years ago.

Practices were shared to enhance the effectiveness of the Vietnam Association for Protection of Child Rights and child rights net (CRnet) in implementing policies on child rights at a forum in Hanoi.

Hanoi has raised more than 45 billion VND (about 2 million USD) for its Children’s Fund over the past six years, as heard at a meeting on October 6 to review the Fund operations from 2009-2015.
