The inaugural Africa Children’s Summit (ACS) was held in Nairobi, Kenya, on April 10-12, 2023. More than 300 children from across the continent convened for this child-led conference to facilitate dialogue between policymakers and children. The children shared and discussed challenges compromising child well-being in Africa. These challenges included climate change, environmental neglect, limited opportunities for child participation, violence against children, inadequate education, hunger, inadequate access to health services, online safety risks, and
unfriendly justice systems.
South Africa was selected as the location for the next Summit, with the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (NMCF) as the lead Civil Society Organisation. NMCF is committed to ensuring that the ACS 2025 takes place in April 2025 in South Africa and that children lead in all aspects of planning for, executing, and following up on progress after the conference. To this end, the proposal below illustrates the urgency of the requisite sign-offs, considering the intention to host a regional Summit over the envisioned period from the 4th to the 7th of April 2025.
The purpose of the Summit is to bring children from across the continent together to discuss among themselves on children matters in Africa;

Last week, today, inclusivity was more than a word at the #africachildrenssummit2025 – from communication platforms, nationalities, cultures, abilities, to languages, and everything in between.

Last week, around this time, our young leaders at #AfricaChildrensSummit2025 took time off a busy schedule of the day, headlined by the development of country-specific outcome statements on key issues that directly affect children across the continent, to throw some hoops on St John College's basketball courts, trained by Africa's leading NBA coaches #memories
According to doctor's orders 🙃, all work and no play is not good for the young creative minds.

Last week, this morning, 300 children from around the continent were having breakfast at Roedean School and St John's College in Parktown, Johannesburg, in preparation for the first day of #AfricaChildrensSummit2025 deliberations about the future they want.
A busy programme with a full stomach were a great combination for our future leaders.

Children from around the continent spoke up at the #africachildrenssummit2025, expressing their concerns, but mainly their hopes. This was a sign that every single one of the 300 of them felt seen, heard, and engaged despite their backgrounds and abilities. There was one resounding message to the current leaders – future leaders are tired of talking. They want action. They want accountability. #africachildrenssummit2027 cannot be another talkshop of the same issues, they said.

We are grateful to the Department of Social Development for co-hosting #AfricaChildrensSummit2025 with us and to all the partners whose participation ensured that the Summit was a success. A special mention goes to St John’s College and Roedean School for providing safe, comfortable and accessible accommodation, Summit venues and recreational facilities for the 300 future leaders who came from all over Africa to be seen, heard and engaged on issues that affect them directly, and that they believe are critical to address NOW in order to set the continent on successful future path.
