On January 29, 2026  Organization for Social Development (OSD) was honored to welcome colleagues from Save the Children Sweden to our office for a high-energy exchange with the Addis Child-Led Initiatives Coalition (ACLIC).

The visit focused on the incredible strides the coalition has made in amplifying children's voices across the 11 sub-cities of Addis Ababa. Members of the ACLIC leadership team took the floor to present their work, proving once again that children aren't just the leaders of tomorrow—they are leading today.

 

 

 

The Addis Child-Led Initiatives Coalition (ACLIC) participated in the 4th Africa Girls Summit to advocate for girls’ equal participation and promote innovative, child-led approaches to ending child marriage and Gender-Based Violence (GBV). The engagement concluded with the joint development of a unified Call to Action alongside girl participants from across Africa.
