The program aims to achieve the objectives of strengthening child protection while promoting their healthy and positive development, and enhancing their digital capacity in the context of national digital transformation, thus contributing to the formation of a generation of Vietnamese “digital citizens” in the new situation.
It also seeks to fundamentally shift child protection activities in the online environment towards a proactive model of prevention and early intervention against risks and harms to children. Under the programme, by 2030, 100% of general education institutions are expected to deploy cybersecurity solutions, while all Internet service providers in Vietnam will integrate solutions to block harmful content on their networks.
100% of child victims of online abuse will receive support and intervention upon their own request, or that of their families or the community. To realise these goals, the programme outlines 11 groups of tasks and solutions for ministries, sectors and localities.
These include continuing to finetune and strengthen the legal framework; ensuring children’s participation rights and promoting their voices and intellect; narrowing the digital gap and improving access to digital information among children across regions.
