The National Junior Councils Association of Zimbabwe (NJCA) was formed out of the realization that there is need for a well-coordinated effort in advocating and lobbying for child friendly policies and programs that positively impacts on the lives of young people in Zimbabwe. The Association comprises of Junior Councils all over Zimbabwe. These Organisations are found in almost all the ten provinces in Zimbabwe and they have a direct relationship with local communities in their respective areas.


The junior councils are better placed in engagement issues with local authorities and they are better placed in dealing with issues that affect children in the communities they live. Participation is open to children and young people and participation is not limited according to religion, race, ethnicity, geographical expression, language etc. participation is open to both individuals and organizations that seek to improve the lives of children in Zimbabwe.
