Getting everyone in the picture: investing in children
TAGS

Join us on the 17th of November! Supported by the Bloomberg Philanthropy Data for Health initiative, ESCAP, UNICEF and Vital Strategies, are hosting a side event for the Seventh Asian and Pacific Population Conference.  This side event will highlight that serious action and resources are needed to achieve universal and responsive civil registration as agreed to by governments in Asia and the Pacific. To enable the new generations to manage and cope with emerging challenges and ageing populations, governments need to allocate more resources to support the growth and development of children, particularly through child-related benefits. The starting point being to ensure every one has a legal identity and is included in official statistics.

Register to the event and find more information on this link.
