Dear colleagues,

The African Union, in collaboration with the Government of South Africa and UNICEF hosted an AU Expert Consultation on Children and Social Protection Systems, Cape Town, April 28-30th. This consultation gathered delegates from more than 40 countries across the continent to discuss the state of the evidence on Social protection in Africa, lessons from design and implementation, as well as the way forward, in terms of scale-up and financing. The Recommendations  out of the Cape Town meeting focused on political will and expansion of coverage, development of a minimum social protection package, systems development and allocation of national resources to social protection. These Recommendations were adopted at the Fourth Session of AU Meeting of Ministers of Social Development -CAMSD4 took place May 26-30 in Addis.

This is without doubt a critical regional recognition of the role of social protection in children’s and families’ rights, development, as well as to the region’s inclusive growth.

Warm regards

    “We, the Peoples” are the first words of the UN Charter. The UN was founded in 1945 and
    mandated to respond to the needs and rights of all persons, in every country of the world. In this spirit of social justice, a real world recovery means a recovery for all
    persons, not simply the recovery of a few economic indicators and
    companies.
