The African Report on Child Wellbeing series is a pan-African project initiated to promote state accountability to children and mobilise legal, policy and administrative actions towards progressive realisation of the ideals and principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC). The Report regularly assesses the extent to which African governments are living up to their commitments to children and provide critical analyses of strengths and weaknesses of national efforts made to put in place child-sensitive laws and policies and effectively implement them.
The African Report on Child Wellbeing 2016 – Getting It Right: Bridging the Gap between Policy and Practice, builds on the previous editions and findings of various studies undertaken by ACPF and other child-focused organizations which consistently show that there is insufficient progress on implementation of laws and polices pertaining to children.
