Representatives from 17 countries in Asia-Pacific are gathering at a
regional conference on public finance, social policies and children in Hanoi
from Sept. 24-26.
The event, co-organised by the
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Vietnam and the Ministry of Finance,
focuses on how to address poverty and inequality through quality investment in
children.
At a press conference on Sept.
24, Daniel Toole, UNICEF Director for Asian-Pacific region, said that the
region has made great progress in improving children’s health and their
families’ living standard over the past two decades, thanks to socio economic
development with stable financial resource.
Deputy Finance Minister Truong
Chi Trung said that this is the first time UNICEF and Vietnam gathered
ministries of finance, education, health and labour in the region at the
conference, with the aim to assist their governments in making and implementing
policies targeting children.
During the three-day event, the
participants will discuss the relation between public finance and social
policies, and seek solutions to narrow the development gap and reduce poverty.
They will also share valuable
experiences in how national socio-economic policies help improve children’s
lives in their own country.
