Announcing the new Able Child Africa Network and what this means for the redistribution of power to organisations working with children with disabilities in Africa.

Join us as we launch our new 2030 Strategy, which changes the way we work.

Our strategy sets out our plans to support the creation of a new network of organisations working with and for children and young people with disabilities in Africa.

We were founded on the principles of African-led development and for the last 40 years we have been proud to work side by side with a group of leading African organisations, who are experts in upholding the rights of children with disabilities in Africa.

But we believe we can and should be doing more to put decision making in the hands of these organisations.

Date: Tuesday 16 April 2024

Time: 14:00 GMT / 15:00 CAT/ 16:00 EAT / 09:00 EST

The launch

In this launch event you will hear from these organisations themselves and understand why we have moved to a network model and what it means in practice.

The event will include an introduction from our co-CEO Karl Hankinson, a statement from the our Chair of the UK Board, Jim Sellars, alongside the Chair of the newly-formed Able Child Africa Network, Bahati Omar.

You will also hear a panel discussion with a number Able Child Africa Network Members including Action Network for Disabled Youth, Child Support Tanzania and Federation of Disability Organisations in Malawi.

The event will have live captioning and International Sign Language interpretation. There is an option to let us know if you have any additional accessibility requirements when you register.
