The overall aim of the Sixth IPC is to continue to build Africa’s agenda on child-sensitive social protection through strengthening political will, government commitment and partnership for comprehensive, sustainable, well coordinated and effective social protection programmes that contribute towards improved wellbeing for children in Africa.
The objectives of the conference are:
1. To elaborate and build on the outcomes of the African Union (AU) meetings on “Children and Social Protection Systems in Africa” held in 2014, and identify opportunities to further support and enable the AU and governments to fulfill their stated commitments.
2. To share evidence and examples of good practices in social protection programmes or children in Africa, specifically those that have demonstrated effective institutionalisation within national polices and planning – particularly in the following three areas; building the economic and investment argument, building structures and systems to institutionalise social protection programmes and mechanisms to engage relevant stakeholders including CSOs.
3. To enhance collaboration between different stakeholders and facilitate learning on specific aspects of child-sensitive social protection programmes.
