Being a mother is my highest calling but I'm equally fascinated by concepts of #publicpolicy #socialdevelopment #genderequality & #childprotection.

Once again, I warmly salute and thank all my dear friends, colleagues, and well-wishers for your continued support and encouragement. I look forward to meeting you on 14th August at the launch of my book, From Humble Beginnings.
This book is a reflection on my journey, from a classroom teacher to a headteacher, and from a civil servant to the Chief Executive Officer of the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB).
Along this path, I have learned that leadership is not defined by titles, but by service, integrity, and a genuine commitment to the people one leads.
I have also come to appreciate that while a title may open doors, it is one's actions, character, and dedication that earn lasting respect.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you and celebrating this special milestone together.

Welcoming #AU Member States and partners to the validation of the Common Africa Position on Ending #ViolenceAgainstChildren and the AU Model Law on #OnlineChildSafety, which provide a strong foundation and reflect Africa's continued commitment to accelerating progress for children across the continent.
"Africa is home to the world's youngest population.
Children must not be seen as a problem to resolve, but as a huge capital to invest in.
Investing in children from an early age and through a life-cycle approach, in line with Agendas 2030 and 2063, is vital for resilient and sustainable social, human and economic development, and will provide a high return."
- Dr. Najat Maalla M’jid
ALT A large conference room screen at the ARISE Africa II - Convening and Validation of the AU Model Law on Child Online Safety event displays Dr. Najat Maalla M’jid, the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children, speaking via video. Delegates are seated below the screen. Overlaid text reads: "Children must not be seen as a problem to resolve but as a huge capital to invest in." The image also includes the logo of the UN Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children.

Back in the classroom where she belongs.
In Ethiopia’s Amhara region, Community Care Coalitions are stepping up to support vulnerable families, ensuring children like Bethelhem don't miss out on an education.
Watch how community-led action is changing lives

After surviving Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), Askalech stepped up to raise awareness in her community.
Through the Global Programme to #EndFGM, her efforts help ensure that no other girl endures harmful practices.

Thousands of little feet ran today for a big cause at UNICEF's Children's Race: birth registration.
Every child counted. Every child protected.
Because birth registration is the first step toward a lifetime of rights.
This is great that a bi partisan bill is signed into law by the president. Online abuse and exploitation especially, of children should end instagram.com/reel/DJ2lBdqpU…
On March 18, we celebrated #socialworkers but until you meet social workers like Hiluf Fitsum below, it is impossible to put into perspective the #criticality of social work.
This Social Work Month, we celebrate social workers like Hiluf Fitsum, who work tirelessly to ensure #children are safe, protected, and given the opportunity to thrive.
Today, as the world celebrates World Social Workday, @UNICEFEthiopia stands in solidarity with social workers like Adiam Adinew, who rescues children from exploitation and restores healthy childhood
Meet Adiam.
She’s a @Hopeforjustice social worker helping girl survivors of physical and sexual violence at a @NorwayinAddis and UNICEF-supported lighthouse in Addis Ababa.
#SocialWorkerDay
Commitment to deal online child sexual exploitation and abuse of children, #OCSEA is high in #Ethiopia. Amidst all else, @UNICEFEthiopia partnered with Gov of #Ethiopia to prevent this vice in #Ethiopia
The time to act is NOW!
Today, UNICEF & the government of 🇪🇹 launched key documents to commemorate #SaferInternetDay.

Fantastic visit with children and families in Songwe, #Tanzania, to see UNICEF’s work in support of the Government’s strong efforts to save & improve the lives of children through birth registration, vaccines, proper nutrition, early childhood development, education and skills.
Technology is more than just a tool—it’s a lifeline for children in need. @UNICEFEthiopia is strengthening child protection systems by scaling up such innovations. #Socialwokers in #Sheger city, Oromia now use the #CPIMS+ 4 case management
