About the Role
The African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC) is a human rights organ of the AU with the mandate to promote and protect the rights and welfare of children in Africa. The Committee was established by the Organization of African Unity (OAU), now the African Union (AU), by virtue of Article 32 of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (The African Children’s Charter) to monitor the implementation of the Charter.
To support the delivery of the mandate of the ACERWC, the ACERWC invites qualified and competent applicants to submit application for position of Communication and Media Officer to support the implementation of the communication and advocacy strategy as well as provide inputs into the design, management and implementation of the communication activities which are geared to influence the development agenda, promote public and media outreach and mobilise support for the programmes of the ACERWC.
In this regard, Save the Children International through a support of the Africa Children’s Charter Project (ACCP) is collaborating with the ACERWC to hire a qualified individual officer to assist the undertakings of the above-mentioned Working Group.
