Everything starts from an idea. But every idea might not see the daylight of success without hard work and diligence. 15 years ago, Horra Trading was just an idea in the mind of Mr. Adem Kedir who meticulously worked day and night to turn it into a reality in 2005, basing himself on his extensive skill and knowledge in coffee and coffee trade. Mr. Adem Kedir&rsquo;s coffee trade career started as the succeeding generation from his grandfather Mr. Abbahawa and his father Mr. Kedir Hadjji Hassan in Ethiopia. As the third generation successor of the family coffee business, Mr. Adem has made the leap from his involvement in traditional and domestic coffee market to international coffee trade by forming his own business entity by the name of Horra Trading in 2005. What was started as a simple trading business entity in 2005, Horra Trading has made it possible to create diversified businesses under Horra Corporate Group. Currently, Horra Corporate Group business portfolio includes coffee and oil seeds export, coffee plantation, automotive assembly, import and distribution, manufacturing, real estate development and transit and forwarding.

The Committee was established by the Organization of African Unity (OAU), now the African Union (AU), by virtue of Article 32 of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (The African Children’s Charter) to monitor the implementation of the Charter.The ACERWC undertakes various activities and draws inspiration from existing initiatives on matters related to tackling harmful practices affecting children’s rights in Africa. As prescribed in Article 1(3) of the African Children’s Charter, State Parties assume the obligation to address any custom, tradition, cultural or religious practices inconsistent with the rights enshrined therein. The Committee also draws inspiration from Aspiration 6 of Agenda 2063 and its target to end all forms of violence and discrimination against girls, including harmful practices such as child marriages and FGM. Furthermore, Aspiration 7 of Agenda 2040 also provides guidance requesting Member States to eliminate harmful practices, including FGM, child marriage, virginity testing, breast ironing and child witch killings; gender-based violence; sexual violence; sexual exploitation; pornography; and sexual trafficking. The Addis Ababa Declaration on Ending Discrimination and Violence against Girls in Africa which was adopted during the 22nd Ordinary Session of the ACERWC on 05 November 2013 following the Day of General Discussion on Discrimination and violence against girls in Africa; the ACERWC and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) joint General Comment on ending child marriage; and the AU’s Campaign to end child marriage and the Saleema Initiative to eliminate FGM are also some of the initiatives that inform the Committee’s intervention on the matter.&nbsp;To coordinate these initiatives and monitor Member States’ responses to eliminate harmful practices affecting children’s rights, the ACERWC has established a special mechanism in the form of the office of Special Rapporteur. The Special rapporteur, among other things, has the mandate to mobilize action and political support to end child marriage, FGM and other harmful practices in Africa; and to cooperate and engage in dialogue with the Member States, National Human Rights Institutions, relevant intergovernmental organization's, UN Agencies, international and regional mechanisms, and CSOs.&nbsp;In this regard, Plan International African Union Liaison Office through a support of the African Children’s Charter Project (ACCP) is collaborating with the ACERWC to hire a qualified individual as a Legal Researcher to assist the undertakings of the ACERWC’s Special Rapporteur on Harmful Practices.&nbsp;&nbsp;MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE LEGAL RESEARCHERThe Legal Researcher will be tasked to support the activities of the Special Rapporteur on harmful practices.
