The Day of the African Child is commemorated every June 16 by member states of the African Union. It celebrates African children and calls for serious introspection and commitment towards addressing the numerous challenges facing children across the continent.
The theme of DAC 2021 is, “30 years after the adoption of the Charter: Accelerate implementation of Agenda 2040 for an African fit for Children.” Tailored to meet regional specificities, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (Charter) was adopted in 1990 by the Organisation of African Unity (OAU now AU). Nigeria is a signatory. In 2016, the monitoring body established by the Charter, the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child adopted “Agenda 2040: Fostering an Africa fit for Children” to provide a 25-year agenda for the long-term and strategic progress in implementing children’s rights in Africa.
