members to draft and submit thematic reports on the right to a nationality to treaty bodies such as the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, the UN Human Rights Council and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Reports covering Lesotho, Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa have been submitted between 2016 and 2020. 3. To advocate for prompt adoption and implementation of Draft Protocol on Eradication on Statelessness in Africa Update: in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the African Charter, the theme for the 2021 SANN annual meeting is “The Right to a Nationality in Africa”. The aim of the meeting is to galvanize support for the adoption and implementation of the Draft Protocol on Eradication on Statelessness in Africa and to advocate for the fulfilment of commitments to adopt the protocol that have already been made at e.g. the Migration Dialogue for Southern Africa (MIDSA), the SADC Parliamentary Forum and the Pan African Parliament. 4. To encourage its members in SADC to mainstream statelessness into their organisations work Update: SANN membership includes organisations that do not necessarily exclusively work on statelessness, but on human rights issues that intersect with statelessness e.g. organisations working on child protection and working with unaccompanied and separated migrant children, organisations working on refugee and migrant rights, organisations working with migrant workers (farm or mine workers), organisations working on children’s rights and birth registration issues etc. SANN provides a platform for such organisations to access more information and resources on statelessness to enable them to mainstream statelessness into their organisations work. 5. To advocate for and support SADC in creating a regional action plan to end statelessness in SADC Update: SANN has participated in and supported various regional initiatives towards the adoption of a Ministerial Declaration and regional action plan to end statelessness in SADC. In August 2016, the Migration Dialogue for Southern Africa (MIDSA), which convenes member states to discuss migration governance adopted conclusions and recommendations on statelessness that include the development and adoption of a SADC Ministerial Declaration and regional action plan to end statelessness. In November 2016, SANN conducted a briefing at the SADC Parliamentary Forum. A 7
