THE 3RD INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE ON CHILD PROTECTION
IN AFRICA, 2025

WELCOME TO THE 3rd International Conference on Child Protection in Africa.

Theme:

Child Protection and Climate Change

The 3rd International Conference on Child Protection (ICCP)–Africa, hosted by the Government of Kenya in collaboration with key child protection stakeholders, will convene from 5th to 7th November 2025 under the theme “Child Protection and Climate Change.” As climate-related crises escalate across the continent, children’s rights, safety, and well-being face unprecedented threats. This conference will provide a critical platform for government agencies, civil society, UN bodies, academics, and children themselves to reflect on how climate change intersects with child protection. ICCP 2025 builds on the legacy of the 1st ICCP (2018) and 2nd ICCP (2023) conferences and aligns with global milestones such as SDG 13 and COP27, where children were recognized as climate change agents. With just five years to the 2030 SDG deadline, the conference aims to generate evidence, share innovations, amplify children’s voices, and catalyze action to embed child protection in climate response strategies across Africa and beyond.

THEME:

Child Protection and Climate Change

KEY OBJECTIVE:

The overall objective of the 3rd ICCP 2025 is to explore the intersection of child protection and climate change by fostering dialogue, strategies, and policies that enhance children’s safety and resilience.
