The African Committee of Experts on the Right and welfare of the Child's Working Groups Meeting is taking place from 21-22 November ahead of the highly anticipated 40th Ordinary session of the committee.
The Working Groups were established taking into account the challenges observed in some specific thematic areas and the need to take a systematic approach by the Committee to address these challenges sustainably. They are anchored on the principles and norms of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child and the aspirations of Africa’s Agenda for Children 2040. The Working groups are composed of members of the ACERWC and external experts, except for the Working Group on the Implementation of Decisions which is only composed of Members of the Committee.
