Bungoma County Children Protection Policy 2022

Abstract

The Department of Gender, Youth, Sports and Culture developed the Children Policy 2021. The process aimed at identifying the achievements, gaps, lessons learnt and challenges and proposes policy statements. The results of the review process informed the development of the County Children policy. The development of this policy was spearheaded through an inclusive, participatory and widely consultative process with representation of key stakeholders among them children, ministries, county government departments and agencies, development partners, non-state actors, community and faith based organizations working with and for children. The policy goals stated herein are based on the key pillars of Child Rights as articulated in the (UNCRC), 1989. These are Survival Rights, Development Rights, Protection Rights and Participation Rights. The policy has been aligned to the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and been designed to contribute to the realization of the goals of Kenya Vision 2030.
