Promoting synergies between child protection and social protection

This document identifies seven main factors of child vulnerability. It gives an overview and an analysis of the issues of the main child protection systems in West and Central Africa, including a legal framework for children's rights, government institutions responsible for promoting rights, prevention services and awareness-raising activities, reintegration social services for victims of violence and abuse, and links with other non-governmental players. The results show the extent to which existing services are fragmented, poorly funded and highly dependent on international agencies and NGOs.
