On 20th November, the 25th anniversary celebrations for the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) was celebrated together with the 10th National Children’s Summit – and had a regional flavour – with the participation of children representatives from EAC: Kenya, Burundi, Uganda and Tanzania. The representatives set out significant successful steps, their own countries have taken towards developing child rights and set the tone of collaboration and sharing best practice among children at the summit. Isabelle Kansiime, 16, from Uganda highlighted to the audience that “You do not measure the success of a country by the number of big buildings or nice cars, but in the investments made in its people.” UNICEF Uganda Unicef Burundi UNICEF Kenya UNICEF TANZANIA Tomorrow, we will have a quote from another EAC participant #watch this space #CRC25 #Everychild
