On July 27, 2026, the Organization for Social Development (OSD) held a collaborative workshop at the Azziman Hotel in Addis Ababa to promote the Addis Child-Led Initiatives Coalition (ACLIC) among SIDA partners, civil society organizations, and local government stakeholders. Entirely facilitated by child leaders from ACLIC, the event served as a platform to highlight the coalition’s achievements in child rights advocacy and to foster stronger institutional partnerships for child-led initiatives. In alignment with OSD's strategic efforts to build inclusive, rights-based capacity across development programming, the gathering brought together 67 key representatives to discuss gender equality, disability inclusion, and child participation. A major highlight of the workshop was the joint technical review of OSD's draft monitoring checklist, where participants worked together to refine the tool into a gender-sensitive, accessible instrument designed to strengthen accountability and support evidence-based advocacy for children's rights.
