The project aims to create a better living environment where all children are protected, with priority given to underprivileged and highly vulnerable children. It will also take proactive measures to prevent and minimize risks to children and provide opportunities for abused children to reintegrate into the community.

Specifically, the project aims to slash the rate of disadvantaged children to below 5.5 percent and have half of provinces and cities create their own system for child protection, which includes centres with social workers expert in child-related issues, consultancy offices, and networks of volunteers in this field.

The project comprises six smaller projects covering communication, education, social mobilization, capacity enhancing, and reviewing and modifying laws on children.

Of the total investment for the project, VND913.5 billion will be sourced from the state budget, VND742 billion from localities and the remaining VND100 billion from international donors.
