Focus Africa: Lasting change must come from within

Focus Africa is a collaborative initiative among Save the Children Sweden’s three regional offices in Africa and the Head Office in Stockholm. The aims of the initiative are to enhance awareness among people in Sweden regarding the situation of children living in Africa, increase advocacy on children’s rights in Africa and Sweden and to build Save the Children Sweden's own capacity through experience- and knowledge-sharing among the three African regional offices.

 

Focus Africa has four thematic areas of focus: HIV/AIDS, children in armed conflict and disasters, poverty reduction and children’s rights. The initiative cooperates with local partners and organisations in order to strengthen civil society and achieve lasting improvements in children’s lives.

 

Lasting change must come from within, not from outside.
