Plan International on July 12 signed an agreement with the provincial government of Quang Tri that allows the global organization to run new programs in the province to improve the lives of needy children.

The agreement signed between Plan International Vietnam and the Quang Tri Provincial People’s Committee provides for US$3.5 million of funding for programs to be given effect in the districts of Dakrong and Huong Hoa during the 2017-2021 timeframe.

“We are very proud to announce that we can now build on all the work we have done in Quang Tri so far and start implementing new programmes in the province,” said Plan International representatives.

“Plan International is committed to working with government, non-governmental and civil society organisations to implement child-centred community development programmes.”
