In celebrating South Africa, her people and
her freedom over the last 20 years; Southern Africa is an important region of
fifteen states with vast resources and progressive economic development, but
also with some serious social challenges. With the world’s largest child and
youth population, investment in children is crucial. Children are tomorrow’s
parents, leaders, business executives, investors and consumers. All sectors -
business, governments, civil society and academia - have the opportunity and
the obligation to take on an increased responsibility for the future. Cross
sector partnerships have a particular potential to create real and lasting
change. Also to celebrate the success of Nigeria as a united nation, United Nations
70th and Junior Chamber International 100th Anniversary,
