(VOVworld) - Vietnam’s national strategy for youth development until 2020 has been completed by a project that got underway on Wednesday by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the United Nations Fund for Population (UNFPA).

The US$900,000 project is being funded with nearly 150,000 USD from the Government’s budget with the rest coming from UNFPA. It will target reproductive healthcare, sexual health, HIV prevention and gender violence. The project's beneficiaries are vulnerable young people, especially those who have moved to resettlement areas, fail to get an education or live in remote or mountain areas. UNFPA will help to improve reproductive health and the capacity of Government agencies to work alongside the health and labor sectors in the best interest of young people.
