The Save the Children Fund, commonly known as Save the Children, is an international non-governmental organization that promotes children's rights, provides relief and helps support children in developing countries
Background
The African Human Rights system has undergone a number of significant changes since the publication of the second edition of the Guide in 2010. The membership of the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child has experienced several changes in membership, with the ending of the tenure of members who served their term of office. The Committee has developed General Comments, issued findings in response to communications received, and strengthened its partnership with civil society through the African Children's Charter Project (ACCP). At the broader AU level, the Human Rights Strategy for Africa, the African Governance architecture, the AU Agenda 2063 and the declaration of 2016 as the Year of Human Rights in Africa are amongst the significant developments which have had an impact on the work of the ACERWC. These changes have necessitated a revision of this Guide into the 3rd edition which was published in 2016. Save The Children International thus engaged the author to update the 2nd edition with these and other new developments in the Committee's work as well as in relation to the advancement of children's rights in Africa. The 3rd edition is currently available only in the English version, and will need to be translated into French for purposes of use within the French-speaking countries in the Continent.
