UNICEF, UB launch thari ya bana

According to UNICEF country director Doreen Mulenga, the aim is to provide a forum for articulating the current status of children that would contribute to local debate and raising awareness of issues children face on a daily basis. She said that would in turn contribute to policy development, programmes and budgeting for children.

Mulenga stated that they decided to include contributions from the UB, UNICEF and a number of other stakeholders as a reflection of the diversity of interests, skills and issues as well as attempt to cultivate a passion amongst individuals and academia to focus on a research agenda for children.
