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.
"Key Findings Related to VAC in Kinship Care in East Africa," a presentation delivered by Geoffrey Oyat of Save the Children East Africa, describes the findings from a 2015 study on kinship care in Ethiopia, Kenya and Zanzibar. The presentation outlined key findings in five categories:
- Legal, policy, plans and data concerning kinship care
- Traditional practices, trends in kinship care and influencing factors
- Positive and negative experiences of girls and boys living in kinship care, and protection and risk factors influencing outcomes
- Children and caregivers support needs, and the availability of such support
- Policy and practice recommendations
