Programme Teams are Ready to Kickoff 2022!

Message By Chief Programme's Officer - Dr Stanley Maphosa

NMCF carries vision and mission of the Fund by implementing five programs that align to the strategic objectives and its focus areas. Our primary beneficiaries are children and youth for whom we would like to see society change the way they are treated.

We focus on child health, child safety, economic resilience and the leadership and empowerment of youth. Our programs are Child Survival, Development and Thriving (CSDT), Child Safety and Protection (CSP), Youth Leadership Program (YLP), Sustainable Livelihoods Program (SLP) and Special Projects that include the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital (NMCH).

In 2022, we are developing and getting the new strategy approved. The strategy will run for the next five years (2022-2027). Meanwhile we will spend time this year phasing out and transitioning the projects that we have been working with our implementing partners on from the previous strategy 2016-2021.

We will also continue to also work with other implementing partners that straddle the two strategic periods in eight of the nine South African provinces with our program teams. We look forward to our key events like the Nelson Mandela Children’s Parliament and the Children’s day.

Our staff are experts in providing practical support in the field to children and youth, creating impact at scale.
