The National Strategy to Accelerate Action for Children (NSAAC)

The National Strategy to Accelerate Action for Children (NSAAC) was published by the Department of Social Development following a long consultative process led by The Presidency of the Republic of South Africa. This important document, more than two years in the making, sets out South Africa’s shared priorities for children – from closing the food gap and stimulating early language development, to safety and disability screening.
