Erickson launches child rights project in Tanzania
In mid-March, CEED Senior Fellow Marti Erickson traveled to Arusha, Tanzania to launch a child rights project she is co-leading with Gerison Lansdown, a child rights expert from England. The project will work with leaders from Tanzanian government agencies and NGOs to develop a system for training health, education, and human service workers to use a child rights framework to understand and promote the health and development of young children (birth through age 8) throughout Tanzania. This was the first of four trips Marti will make to Tanzania over the next year and a half as part of this project.
