The Pan Africa Child Rights Monitoring and Advocacy Programme was funded by the Swedish International Development Agency via Plan Sweden and was implemented by Plan AU Liaison and Pan Africa Program Office from January 2012 to December 2014. This programme aimed at enhancing the implementation of the CRC and the ACRWC in Africa through a stronger involvement of CSOs in monitoring states and institutions’ actions and advocating them for improvements in their policies and practices for children’s rights and well being.
