Kenya on Wednesday launched a care reform strategy to boost the rights of children, a senior government official said.
Margaret Kobia, Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Public Service, Gender, Senior Citizens Affairs, and Special Programmes said that the strategy was developed with the support of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and provides a roadmap to prevent the separation of children from their parents through family strengthening programs.
"The focus of the strategy is to accelerate the transition of children and young people from institutions and situations where they are unaccompanied or separated into family and community-based care," Kobia told journalists in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.
