Klojen (malangkota.go.id) – The many child-friendly facilities in various corners of Malang City have made this City of Education once again win a proud achievement, namely the 2018 Child-Friendly City Award from the Indonesian Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection.
The award was presented directly by the Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, Yohana Yembise to the Head of the Malang City Planning, Research and Development Agency (Barenlitbang) Erik Setyo Santoso at the Dyandra Convention Hall Surabaya, Monday, July 23, 2018.
For this achievement, Acting Mayor of Malang Drs. Sutiaji said that the KLA award won by Malang City is the result of the government's commitment to continue to fulfill children's rights including in the fields of education, health, and also the provision of facilities and infrastructure such as children's playrooms.
"We will also continue to improve our services in handling children's problems," said Sutiaji, Tuesday (24/7).
