"Backed by the local and national governments, non-governmental organizations, private sectors, media outlets and universities and in collaboration with UNICEF, Child Friendly City Initiative includes more than 30 million children in 3000 cities and local communities in over 40 countries across the world," he added.
According to UNICEF, the vision for the global CFCI programme is that every child and young person enjoys their childhood and youth and reaches their full potential through equal realization of their rights within their cities and communities.
