Establishing Functional National Child Protection System: 2012

KAACR in partnership with Save the Children Sweden is implemented three year project on Child Protection Programme in Kenya aimed at ensuring that the National Child Protection System is institutionalized by key stakeholders. This involved stakeholders in the development of a NCPS strategy that will put on track the continued legal reforms on all matters affecting children in Kenya. KAACR undertook an all-inclusive approach to the establishment of a functional NCPS by involving children, community committees and Area Advisory Communities to develop a position on the development of NCPS in Kenya at all levels (National, County and sub-county).

The program focused on increasing advocacy to the government for development and implementation of policies that protect children from abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence. There was specific focus on eliminating physical and humiliating Punishment especially in institutions for children without appropriate care where KAACR directly reached 150 children and 200 adults and indirectly reached 1,500 children and 1,000 adults this year.
