In East Asia and the Pacific

UNICEF/Helin

Highlights

With over 60 per cent of the worlds’ youth living in the larger Asia Pacific region, supporting this age group to interact with and adapt to a rapidly changing world, develop creative and critical thinking skills and fostering ideals of responsible global citizenship are all critical to unleashing their potential. UNICEF will contribute to efforts on: 1) Adolescent learning outcomes; 2) Gender responsive adolescent health and nutrition; 3) Prevention and protection from violence; 4) Child pregnancies and child marriage; 5) Safe spaces for participation, creativity and self-expression; 6) Safe access to and responsible use of ICT.
