About our SID activities
We are collaborating with SID stakeholders in Ghana to commemorate the occasion, with activities extending throughout February beyond the main event. Our engagement includes international and local NGOs, government agencies, and the private sector in Ghana to ensure a broad and impactful celebration. These institutions are carrying out a number of activities to mark the day and month. The planned activities encompass workshops, school outreach programs, faith-based organisation engagements, webinars, social media campaigns, media interactions, community durbars, and other innovative approaches to effectively communicate the theme: 'Digital citizenship: Educating an African fit for the 21st century.'
What we are doing to create a better internet...
We recognise that building a better internet is a collective effort. Given Ghana’s unique digital landscape, we are aligning our initiatives with the theme: 'Digital citizenship: Educating an African fit for the 21st century'. Through this, we aim to integrate digital citizenship into Ghana’s education curriculum, equipping future generations with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the digital age.
About us
Child Online Africa (COA), formerly known as J Initiative, is a child-focused research and advocacy non-governmental organisation that campaigns for/with children and young people and their families to influence policies and change practices that affect child welfare in Ghana and across Africa. We build partnerships with organisations and individuals to promote online safety by employing rights and evidence based advocacy approaches to achieve sustainable outcomes.
We are pacesetters in Ghana as well as other African countries where we operate on issues of online literacy and safety, menstrual hygiene management and the general well-being of children and young people. The above activities we believe will endorse child online safety locally, foster an Africa fit for children and promote the global child safety agenda.
