UNICEF to Lead New Projects in Cuba

CamagC<ey, Nov 22 (acn) New projects for international cooperation led 
by UNICEF will be carried out in Cuba in 2008, based on the 7-year 
experiences and practices of local reference centers about children's 
rights.

The announcement was made during a national workshop for the promotion 
of children and teenagers' rights underway in Camaguey, with the 
participation of UNICEF's technical staff and provincial coordinators.

The representative of the United Nation's body in Cuba, Arsenio Garcia, 
told ACN that the search for efficient and constant communication will 
continue the coming year with the objective of providing better 
orientation to families.

Garcia commented on UNICEF's contributions to the training of 
multi-sector teams and the community on respecting children's rights, 
against violence and encouraging, developing and strengthening actions 
in favor of children and teenagers.

On the first working day of the workshop, participants analyzed the 
objectives, outcomes, effects and future activities to be held by Cuban 
reference centers.

Ana Audiver Coello, national coordinator of the Children's Rights 
Reference Center, said one of the main objectives of the institution is 
to foster normal development of the child by means of their daily 
activities, as its mission is to promote the International Convention 
on Children's Rights.
