ACYA is a coalition of non-governmental organizations, families and individuals promoting the wellbeing of our children and youth through education and advocacy based on evidence and New Zealand's human rights commitments


ACYA AGM 2012

  • 12 months since 1000 days to get it right for every child was released
  • 6 months since we made submissions to the Green Paper on Vulnerable Children
  • 2 months until the White Paper is released
  • 20 months until New Zealand Government next reports to the UN
    Committee on the Rights of the Child
  • 27 months until the next General Election

How can we make the breakthrough we seek for our young? There is
growing conviction that we need a collective impact initiative -- a
broad coherent partnership of stakeholders working to common goals,
from a shared evidence base. What will it take to get one going? What
are the implications for existing collaborations such as ACYA and
Every Child Counts?

We invite you to contribute to discussions on these issues at our 2012 AGM to be held at St Barnabas Church Hall (cnr Mt Eden & Bellevue Rds, Mt Eden, Auckland), 6-7.30pm Tuesday 25 September 


RSVP Judith McMorland (judith.mcm@xtra.co.nz) by Wednesday 19 September
