Conference Proceedings

This paper describes the outcomes of an expert consultation on The Structural Determinants of Child Well-being hosted by the UNICEF Office of Research. The two-day meeting brought together twelve participants to discuss the underlying causes of child well-being and develop an initial framework to consider the impact of structural factors on children’s lives and the inequalities that too often shape (and limit) their futures.

A new report by The African Child Policy Forum (ACPF)  on Intercountry Adoption was launched at the Fifth International Policy Conference on the African Child (IPC) on 29 May 2012 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The theme of the IPC was Intercountry Adoptions: Alternatives and Controversies. The Addis Ababa Communiqué on Intercountry Adoption was hereby launched.

This report synthesizes a high-level Consultation convened by IDS and the UN Millennium Achievement Fund, which brought together leaders in the UN, NGOs, research institutions and governments to discuss the problem of global inequalities and the agenda to address them.

The 4th Forum on the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) was held between 18 and 20 March 2011 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. As is customary, the Forum was organised ahead of the 17th Ordinary Session of the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC) also taking place in Ethiopia.

Final report from the 2010 edition of the International Interdisciplinary Course On Children’s Rights. 

The fifth conference "Child in the City" will further build on the ideas of the former events with themes like children's participation, space for children, children's mobility and assessment tolls. Inspired by the "European Year for combating poverty and social exclusion" it will widen its scope to include another very important theme of the CRC: child poverty.
