Colloquium on Child Research in Sub-Saharan Africa

The colloquium facilitated a dialogue between researchers, policy makers and practitioners. The aim of this important explorative dialogue was to contribute to more relevant and accessible child research for governments and organizations working towards the realization of children’s rights and well-being.

Childwatch International Research Network and Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) in collaboration with The Child and Youth Research and Training Programme at the University of the Western Cape, the Children's Institute at the University of Cape Town and Kenyatta University organized a colloquium on the status and future of child research in Sub-Saharan Africa in November 2008. The colloquium facilitated a dialogue between researchers, policy makers and practitioners. The aim of this important explorative dialogue was to contribute to more relevant and accessible child research for governments and organizations working towards the realization of children’s rights and well – being. In order to achieve this we need to find more effective ways of increasing the child research capacity in the region and to promote greater engagement between policy makers and researchers.
