Africa Knowledge Hub for Children
What works for children, and how it works.
We collect research on children's well-being from around the world to support learning in and about Africa. Each study is labelled by its type of design, so you can see what kind of evidence it is.
Every report and finding is filed under a child's right.
The four rights follow the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Choose a right to see its evidence.
Reports are grouped by the region of the countries they cover. A report that covers several regions is counted in each. Open a region to see its reports.
