A staggering 2 out of every 3 children in Africa live in extreme poverty with inadequate nutrition, in unstable communities, lacking social services for family and caregiver support. These children suffer poor developmental outcomes, reduced productivity and are less able to help their own children grow and develop.
Let us change this story by collaborating with all key stakeholders to:
Build on positive community and cultural practices that support child development
Strengthen service delivery systems and co-ordination across sectors at all levels
Develop and implement policies that support nationwide access to quality services for all children.
There is much to be done and it begins with each one of us
