Who we are

Our mandate is drawn from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the African Charter on Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) to advocate for the rights of children by focusing on specific issues that affect African families.

Recognizing that there is a limited source of credible materials and information on parenting education and support in Africa, the network is committed to provide forums and platforms for learning and sharing information regarding parenting with skills, and knowledge, in order to safeguard children.

We seek strategic partners to conduct research, document material relevant to local contexts and pilot evidence-based parenting education approaches, all geared towards providing knowledge, information and materials to inform program planning for parents.
