Adolescent Participation
What do People Think about HCA Project?
A Children Friendly City requires a whole-of-society approach, involving everyone who is responsible, especially children and adolescents. The City is committed to reflecting the voices of children and adolescents in the city’s social policies to ensure child and adolescents participation and a child rights-based approach is a mainstay of the child-friendly city.

Mr. Le Trung Chinh
