According to the cooperation agreement, the Center of Consulting Services and Communication will provide special support for children living in extremely economically disadvantaged families who cannot afford to protect children's basic rights; coordinate and connect stakeholders to intervene in some cases that need urgent assistance such as: children being sexually abused, trafficked, exposed to violence or affected by sexual abuse, etc.

They also will coordinate to organize workshops to share experiences on child protection in the Era Industrial Revolution 4.0 in Korea and other countries around the world. In addition, the two sides will jointly promote the National Hotline 111 on Child Protection in programs and activities of GNI in Vietnam; jointly organizing training programs, improve communication capacity about children for journalism and professional media units; producing communication products on child protection in new and suitable forms; promoting the humanitarian support activities of GNI.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, head of Department of Child Affairs Dang Hoa Nam highly appreciated the effective coordination of GNI in recent years.

Within the program to protect children in the period 2018-2020, GNI provided support and intervention for 54 cases with special difficulties in 10 provinces and cities of Vietnam, of which there were 89 direct beneficiaries, many of whom were victims of violence, abuse and other health problems, with total value of support was more than VND 294 million (USD 12,772).

Nam voiced his hope that Good Neighbors will continue sharing lessons learned from both successes and failures in other countries, especially in Korea about the child protection service system in the spirit of two-way communication.

In addition, GNI will strengthen social media cooperation on child protection work in the 4.0 era, as well as established the most practical child protection services in the one-stop form. At the same time, he asked the NGO continue to help Vietnam overcome difficulties in establishing a child protection service system.
