Report on situation analysis of children in Lao Cai

This Analysis is part of a series of provincial situation analyses of children’s rights that UNICEF Viet Nam has initiated to support provinces under the Social Policy and Governance Programme. The purpose of this initiative is to provide information to allow for provincial planning and budgeting becoming more child-friendly and evidence-based, especially for socio-economic development and sectorial plans.

This report contributes to a holistic picture of the provincial situation of girls and boys in Lao Cai and provides an in-depth analysis of children’s issues, bottlenecks and barriers to the realization of children’s rights in a mountainous area with diverse ethnic minority groups.
