In celebration of the upcoming Universal Children’s Day, World Vision Asia Pacific in partnership with UNICEF East Asia and Pacific will be hosting an online event –Let Our Voice Be Heard: A dialogue between children and government about the impact of COVID-19 on Asia’s most vulnerable girls and boys on November 18 at 1:00-2:30 PM Bangkok time.
In July 2020, World Vision Asia Pacific launched the Unmasking the Impact of COVID-19 on Asia's Most Vulnerable Children, targeting stakeholders in SAARC and SAIEVAC. The results of the Rapid Recovery Assessment enable World Vision programmes to meet better the needs of the most vulnerable children during COVID-19.
At the upcoming event, we will engage the government from ASEAN countries, including Mongolia and the Pacific. We are inviting government representatives to speak as panelists and have a dialogue with children from Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Mongolia, Philippines and Indonesia who were part of the ACT NOW report.
