The Framework for the National Child Protection System for Kenya

Child Protection is a multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary affair that requires involvement of everyone. This is much so considering that over half of the population of Kenya is constituted by children some of who live in different situations of vulnerability. It is vital that Kenya has an effective and functional child protection system which is guided by a framework. The ultimate goal of the framework for national child protection system is to promote linkages between different actors and provide coordinated interventions and responses through a statutory mechanism. It is envisaged that the framework will facilitate the harmonization and coordination of preventive child protection efforts, as well as, service delivery to children.
