Li Ming, spokesperson for China International Development Cooperation Agency (CIDCA), affirmed that the country will implement a series of concrete measures to fulfill the initiatives announced by President Xi Jinping during the Global Women’s Summit, held in this capital on October 13.
Li highlighted that the program includes the use of a 100-million-dollar South-South development and cooperation fund for projects aimed at the well-being of women and girls in developing countries, in partnership with the United Nations Women (UN Women) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
The CIDCA spokesperson specified that 1,000 “small but beautiful” projects will be implemented in sectors such as education, health, culture, and poverty reduction, prioritizing women and girls as the main beneficiaries.
