The election of the Addis Child-Led Initiatives Coalition leadership was held in Addis Ababa at Kasanchis Inter Luxury Hotel, with representation from all 11 sub-cities. Each sub-city was represented by five children, ensuring broad and inclusive participation.
The election was conducted in a free, fair, and transparent manner, following internationally recognized procedures. This deliberate approach gave children the opportunity to experience and practice democratic processes, reinforcing the coalition’s commitment to meaningful participation and good governance.
At the end of the process, four leaders were elected: a President, two Vice Presidents, and a Secretary.
OSD and Save the Children International (SCI) have successfully established the Addis Child-Led Initiatives Coalition. This city-level platform brings together various child-led initiatives to amplify children’s voices in a more coordinated and impactful manner
