In many African countries, children make up half of the population, and the cycle of poverty can only end with the full recognition of childrens' rights. The statistics on the state of child welfare, health, and education are shocking: 12.5 million have lost both parents to AIDS, and around 2.2 million are HIV-positive. Half of all children fail to complete primary education. This document urges governments, donors and multilateral agencies to work towards: free HIV/AIDS health services, free education, economic justice for Africa's children, food security for children, the end of children's involvement in war and transparency to tackle corruption

The report indicates that user fees have proved an ineffective form of health financing, have failed to ensure equity of access, have not improved the quality of health services, and have reduced overall utilization by the poor. The paper, considering evidence form South Africa, Uganda and Madagascar, suggests that the abolition of user fees can produce significant equity, efficiency and political gains
