All programs have been integrated effectively to fulfill the set goals.
In the areas where the projects were carried out, locals’ awareness has been improved.
However, the rate of child malnutrition remains high.
The working team pledged to ask UNICEF to assist Ninh Thuận to address the issue.
It was reported that through the project on child fraternity, friendly schools have been established for more than 3,700 primary pupils and 1,240 pre-school children.
Training courses were provided to 679 educational staff and teachers to help them raise their knowledge of teaching skills.
The project also helped to upgrade capacity of 594 medical practitioners and provide medical equipment and medicines to 2,200 women and mothers.
