Strengthening Community level Child Protection Systems and Structures

The Advocacy Learning Centre (ALC) is pleased to share short stories that have been compiled by the Child Protection and Advocacy (CPA) project being implemented in Uganda and Tanzania. The significant momentum gained by CPA approach particularly in Uganda and East Africa region in general in the last 2 years has led to effective brands of local-level change agents for child rights advocacy within communities that are designed to influence policies and citizen empowerment for child-protection.

In this edition, we showcase how community child protection volunteers in partnership with civil society organizations in Bugiri, Uganda - collected and presented evidence of child abuse in their communities to district policy-makers who in turn committed to legislate and pass laws that protect children from abuse.
