The 21-22 June 2017 Africa Expert Consultation on Violence against Children (VAC) in All Care Settings was the second in a series of regional consultations focused on engaging experts within the region to collaborate, share learning, and formulate a set of regional recommendations for key actors to effectively address violence against children within all care settings, especially within alternative care. 

This presentation, delivered at the Expert Consultation by Rebecca Theuri, Save the Children, and Isabel de Bruin Cardoso, Maestral International consultant for East African Community (EAC), provides a background on the EAC Child Policy (2016) and describes the minimum standards and corresponding framework and strategies for providing services to children and young people within the East African Community.
