A look at how forming a children’s council not only supports UNICEF’s Child Friendly Cities Initiative, but also ensures a sustainable and inclusive urban development – a goal that Sarawak hopes to achieve.

Since embarking on its journey towards implementing UNICEF’s Child Friendly Cities Initiative, Sarawak has increased the number of participating municipalities for the initiative, bringing itself closer towards achieving an inclusive and empowered society.

Since 1996, UNICEF has been leading a global initiative the emphasises the significance of child participation in the development of cities and communities.

The Sarawak Government is undertaking a long-term urban renewal initiative to rejuvenate Bukit Assek, as part of a broader effort to transform Sibu Town into a city.

Sarawak has been implementing a number of projects related to urban renewal, as part of measures to boost the quality of life of Sarawakians, especially those from low-income households.

As part of its goal of becoming socially inclusive in an advanced state by 2030, Sarawak is turning to a UNICEF initiative that focuses on prioritising children’s rights and well-being in urban development.
