The African Child Information Hub

The African Child Information Hub (InfoHub) is designed to be a one-stop shop of data and information on children in Africa. The main objective of the InfoHub is "to create a forum to facilitate the exchange of information, ideas and experiences on matters relating to children." The Hub was launched by The African Child Policy Forum (ACPF) in November 2006 and was redesigned in 2010 to make it more dynamic and user-friendly.
The InfoHub features a range of services and features, which include:

• A database of child-focused organisations
• Data and statistics on indicators of the wellbeing of children in Africa, e.g., related to mortality rate, child labour, children living with HIV, and education
• The African Child E-Newsletter
• A news feed
• An events calendar
• Reports, documents, and research publications on the state of children categorised by issues such as child participation, child protection, child-related laws and policy, and child rights and wellbeing.
• Videos on child rights issues and what is being done.

Available in English and French, the website’s database and information are updated and expanded on a continuous basis.
The initiative also includes The African Child E-Newsletter, which is published on a bi-monthly basis and "serves as a platform for organizations and individuals working in the area of child rights and wellbeing to share and disseminate their research/publications, data, new developments and event announcements. It is aimed at providing an avenue for existing and unknown data and information to be disseminated as well as a channel for researchers to solicit information. The 'Interview of the Month' and 'Special of the Month' sections of the E-Newsletter provide theme-specific content on different areas of child rights and wellbeing."
