Building A New Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund – CEO

During 2015, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (NMCF) undertook a strategic review of its five year plan, the path we have been on for the last several years, and what is needed to pave the way to a successful future.

We are emboldened by the progress we have made and are happy to announce that consistent execution on strategic undertakings has led to many of our pre-agreed goals being met. These include building a child rights movement and active citizen participation on child related issues. The strategy particularly focussed on nurturing, protection, connectedness and safety of our children.
As we continue the journey and in line with our culture and practice we undertook a research  to determine the best positioning for addressing the most pressing issues facing children.  In the process the Fund was ably assisted by Deloitte that offered its professional services pro bono.  The exercise identified critical challenges facing children and their families.
