‘Child Poverty in Africa’

Main article text

By Meredeth Turshen in ROAPE No. 117, September 2008. Apologies to the author and Dharam Ghai for a mis-quoted sentence (page 499). It should read as follows: ‘Urban Jonsson, former senior advisor to UNICEF on Human Rights Based Approach to Programming, pointed out that Africa has changed since 1960; there is more peace, more efforts for democracy, an end to apartheid. AIDS has crushed many dreams.’ A corrected online version will appear in December 2008.
