Background:

Digital media, especially social platforms, are changing the ways people interact, giving rise to new and diverse audiences and empowering civil society in ways that have profound implications for communication and advocacy. Nearly half of the world's population now has Internet access – a figure predicted to increase, even in places with less connectivity and fewer amenities – enabling new forms of communication.

VCO Country Programme 2017-2021 highlighted the importance of the public advocacy and communication for child rights. The programme aims to increase public awareness and action to address vulnerabilities and inequities affecting children.

In Viet Nam, 40 percent of population is online and 72 percent of youth population have access to internet. This makes internet a good platform to reach various stakeholders to drive change for children. Strategic use of digital media, especially social media, will deepen UNICEF's dialogue with stakeholders about child rights and equity as well as broaden their engagement in issues related to children. Greater understanding of children's challenges and better involvement in children's issues results in more impact: The richer the conversation and better engagement, the greater the chance for audience actions in support of UNICEF's public advocacy.
