ANTIGUA & BARBUDA: The Department of Social Policy, Research and Planning, within the Ministry of Social Transformation and Human Resource Development is organizing this UNICEF Slogan Competition and Logo Competition to involve all of the nation’s youths, from Kindergarten to Grade 12.
The competitions are being co-ordinated under the UNICEF-funded Integrated Social Protection Systems Project and will focus on the selection of slogans and logos to highlight Social Protection, Investment in Children and an End to Poverty.
The Slogan and Logo Competitions will provide an opportunity to get the youths further involved in our country’s development by creating slogans and logos that will inform the public about Social Protection Resources in our community and any recourse which may be available to those who are poor and vulnerable so that there will be an end to hunger and lack of security for all in our communities.”
