Introduction

The African Children’s Charter Project is a project whose main purpose is to facilitate the promotion and implementation of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) through a strengthened African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, and increased engagement of African civil society organizations with the Committee.
The objectives of the project are:
  1. To strengthen the capacity of the African Committee of Experts to implement specific goals or objectives in its strategic plan, specifically: (a) enhancing the functionality of the Committee’s Secretariat and developing the capacity of Committee members to fulfill their role; (b) supporting the Committee’s mandate to interpret and promote the provisions of the ACRWC; (c) improving the Committee’s working procedures and guidelines; and (d) enhancing the Committee’s visibility and accessibility.
  2. To promote children’s rights and welfare in AU institutions, bodies and mechanisms, specifically: (a) enhancing coordination between the Committee of Experts and the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights; (b) enhancing coordination and mutual learning between the Committee of Experts and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights; (c) promoting children’s rights in the work of identified Regional Economic Communities; (d) putting children’s rights on the agenda of the Permanent Representatives Committee; and (e) putting children’s rights on the agenda of the Peace and Security Council.
  3. To strengthen civil society to use AU mechanisms, and especially the Committee of Experts’ mechanisms, to promote and protect children’s rights and welfare in Africa, specifically: (a) supporting liaison between African civil society and the Committee of Experts; and (b) building CSOs’ knowledge and capacity to engage with the Committee of Experts and other AU bodies.
