Abstract
From 9 to 10 May 2007, the African Child Policy Forum (AFCPF), supported by UNICEF, Eastern and Southern Africa Office (UNICEF-ESARO),
organised a Regional Symposium on Harmonisation of Laws on Children in Eastern and Southern Africa (Symposium). This Symposium was
preceded by a project that studied the extent to which 18 countries in the Eastern and Southern African region had harmonised their laws on
children with the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the
Child (African Children’s Charter). The Symposium brought together about 70 children’s rights experts, academics and advocates from over
15 countries.
