We, the members of the Civil Society Coalition on the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC Coalition), are deeply saddened and outraged by the recent reports of massive corruption in flood control projects across the country involving billions of public funds. These funds, which could have been used to finance essential programs and services for children's welfare, such as education, healthcare, and nutrition, have instead been lost to greed.
Corruption in projects like these is a direct assault on children’s rights and well-being. Children are the ones most severely affected by flooding. Their homes are destroyed, their classrooms are submerged, and their access to essential services is disrupted.
