Keeping Children Safe in Uganda’s Covid-19 Response

During the Covid-19 outbreak we are seeing a significant increase in protection risks for children, adolescents and youth in Uganda – including violence and abuse against children, as well as a rise in hazardous child labour, child marriage and poverty. This briefing paper is produced by the “Joining Forces” coalition of ChildFund, Plan International, Save the Children, SOS Children’s Villages, Terre des Hommes and World Vision. It sets out how children in Uganda are being affected, and practical recommendations to the Government, donors and other key stakeholders.
