Cyprus has managed to achieve the national child poverty reduction target set for 2030 as early as 2022, recording a further reduction in 2023, said the Deputy Minister of Social Welfare, Marilena Evangelou, at the annual conference of the National Anti-poverty Network (NAPN)-Cyprus, held on Thursday at Frederick University. However, some 29,000 children were recorded as still being at risk of poverty and social exclusion in 2023.
