The later EBLS Consortium Workshop was held at Tagaytay City on 21-22/11/2018. The workshop focused on the implementation of birth cohort pilot study in early 2019 in 8 EBLS countries; and planned to develop an extended EBLS research project proposal for the next five year period (2020-2025). This proposal is expected to be completed and submitted to potential international funding bodies in mid-2019.

 

This work of the ICHR has strengthened the relationships with the Cambridge University and international researchers, local policy makers from 8 countries in the EBLS project.  We have established many general agreements in development of research and action plan and implementation for children rights in the future.
