Johannesburg to host 2024 Africa Children’s Summit

The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund says the 2024 Africa Children’s Summit will play a vital role in empowering the continent’s children. The SABC reports that the summit will be held in Johannesburg from 9 to 12 August. The fund’s CEO Doctor Linda Ncube-Nkomo, “The summit is a platform for children’s voices to be heard and what we want to get out of it is a reversal of what happens, where adults take what children have said and report it elsewhere and to sit down and to listen to those voices ourselves. And also, to be able to create a continental platform for the children of Africa to get together and to start to define what an Africa is fit for children looks like from their lived experiences.”
