Conference bids to map out “shared vision for children”

    NAIROBI

    UNICEF and OLS are to mark the 10th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child on 20 November, by hosting a non-political conference by stakeholders from various parts of south Sudan to “sculpt the future for Sudanese children”. At a conference earlier this week, children themselves mapped out their own vision of their future. This will be developed into “a shared vision for the children of Sudan”. The children’s conference called for peace in Sudan and highlighted particularly the Nuer-Dinka conflict as a cause of concern.
