The African report on child wellbeing: How child-friendly are African governments? - Tanzania
The African Report on Child Wellbeing provides an insight into the wellbeing of children in Africa and assesses the extent to which governments meet their obligations, through a ground-breaking Childfriendliness Index – developed by The African Child Policy Forum (ACPF). The Government of Tanzania ranked 23rd in the Child-friendliness Index out of the 52 African governments covered in the assessment. This was for three reasons: first, as a result of the Government of Tanzania’s fair commitment in putting in place appropriate legal provisions to protect children against abuse and exploitation; secondly because of its mid-level allocation of national budgets to provide for the basic needs of children; and thirdly because of its better than average effort in achieving outcomes as reflected on children themselves.
