UNICEF representative said, in a press conference at Algiers Frantz Fanon Hall, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the UNICEF ; “Algerian civil society should participate more in favor of the rights of children, especially in the areas of health and education, in consultation and cooperation with the public authorities”.

In his assessment of the UNICEF activity in Algeria, which began immediately after independence, Lucet expressed his satisfaction of the progress that is made in the education and health sectors, noting that “UNICEF is working with the Algerian government to achieve its priority”, and expressed his admiration for the initiative of the Ministry of National Solidarity, Family and Women’s Issues, for the inauguration of regional cells across the country to count the needy families.
