 VULNERABLE CHILDREN: LASG CALLS FOR MORE COLLABORATION AMONG STAKEHOLDERS


The Lagos State Government has said for the Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) in the state to be given a better life, there is a need for more collaboration among various stakeholders in both the public and private sector 


The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Youth and Social Development, Pharm (Mrs.) Toyin Oke-Osanyintolu stated this at the OVC Technical Steering Committee Meeting of Stakeholders in Lagos State held recently at the State Treasury Office Resource Centre, Alausa.


Oke-Osayintolu said, "We need to come together with a shared mission to address the challenges faced by Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) in our state. The purpose of today's meeting is to assess our progress and identify challenges and strategies on how we can better coordinate our efforts to achieve meaningful and sustainable outcomes".


She noted that the complex circumstances these children face, such as the lack of stable family support, limited access to essential services and an increased vulnerability to neglect and exploitation, necessitated collective responsibility to ensure that these children receive the care, support and protection they need to lead fulfilling lives.


She further stressed, "Our success depends on our ability to work seamlessly across sectors and with various stakeholders. Strengthening partnerships and fostering collaboration which will enhance both our reach and the quality of our interventions. Every child is unique and our strategies must be flexible enough to address their diverse needs. Let us explore innovative approaches that can truly make a difference; approaches that promote their education, health, emotional wellbeing and provide essential social support".


The participants were drawn from local communities, civil society organisations, non-governmental organizations, MDAs and international partners.
