Address at the African Child Policy Forum

"It gives me great pleasure to make my first public statement as the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the newly-established African Child Policy Forum. My pleasure is all the greater to see the project coming to fruition since I have personally been closely associated with it right from its start. How far has already come amazes me and gives me confidence that much more can be expected from the new organization and the term that has the privilege and the challenge to lead it." - Dr. Salim, October 16, 2003
