How to Child Rights African Learning Events: How to engage children in follow up to reporting to the Global and AU human rights mechanisms Session 3: What can we do to support children to follow up?

The How To Child Rights Series is setting out to build joint efforts with key likeminded networks and partners working on follow up to reporting with the UN and African human rights mechanisms to deliver three regional learning events in Africa, aiming to:

• Provide guidance on why and how to engage children in a safe, sustained and meaningful manner with an inclusive lens during the monitoring and advocacy follow up stages of the review process of States
• Hear from good practices of children who have been engaged in follow up to the CRC Committee, ACERWC, UPR and VNR reporting processes.

Through sharing experiences and guidance from children, youth, and civil society, we hope these events will encourage children and adults that support children to be more involved in human rights monitoring, advocacy follow up and the next reporting.

These are the resources from the third event and final event, held on 30th October 2024, and focussed on what we can do to support children to follow up.
