UNICEF to Aid Gansu on Women, Children Development
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) will start projects in northwest China's Gansu Province, which will provide children's development in poverty-stricken areas of the province, basic education, and rural water supply and environment sanitation.
To help China's western poverty-stricken area implement the 2001-2010 guidelines on women and children development, UNICEF has started a series of projects in Gansu.
Up to 2000, Gansu and UNICEF cooperated in implementing 70 projects, involving 13 million U.S. dollars of aid from UNICEF. The projects are mainly used for health, basic education, and teachers training for women and children, which stimulated the social and economic development of Gansu.
The children's development project in poverty-stricken areas will be started at the end of June.
