Convention on the Rights of Child - Africa 
Convention on the Rights of Child is an international treaty that states the rights of children and is monitored by an independent committee that sits in Geneva. Through its articles, it establishes an international law which strives to establish child rights as an ethical enduring principle, advocate for the protection of child rights and set international standards of behavior toward children.
CRC has inspired a process of social change and national implementation of policies for safeguarding rights of children and curb the violation of these rights. The efforts taken by CRC in Africa include–
• Review of the Child Care Act in South Africa.
• Development of national agendas for children in the form of National Program of Action and convergence to these plans within the framework of CRC.
• Passage set for the 1998 Sexual Offences Special Provisions Act in the United Republic of Tanzania.
• In Africa with the Sara Communication initiative and a project named ‘Molalesta’ in Botswana and many others, widening partnerships for children is being done.
• In more than 10 Western and Central African countries, National Commission for Human Rights has been established.
• A statutory body of human rights known as Child Rights Committee has setup in South Africa.
• Within the Global Education Reform Initiative, rights based education has been implemented in North Africa with a target of child survival and their development.
Efforts made due to the articles of CRC and African Charter of Human Rights has started a phase of change and development in the countries of South Africa. But the countries are not still working hard enough to give momentum to this change. The support of the countries and the people is vital to bring a radical change in the condition of children in Africa and give them a secure and peaceful environment for growth.
