Organisation aims and activities: The overriding mission of ACPF is to contribute to the effort to put African children on the public agenda, and, to that end, exert pressure where the political will is absent and provide support where it exists.

Further details: ACPF aims to specifically contribute to improved knowledge on children in Africa; monitor and report progress; identify policy options; provide a platform for dialogue; collaborate with governments, inter-governmental organisations and civil society in the development and implementation of effective pro-child policies and programmes; and also promote a common voice for children in and out of Africa. Our work is inspired by universal values, informed by global experiences and knowledge, and guided by the needs and conditions of African children. Above all, in partnership with other rights-based organisations in Africa and around the world, we aspire to contribute to the effort to make an ‘Africa fit for children’.
