Taking the inside or outside track – or both? NGO advocacy in state reporting under the Child Rights Convention: a case study from Kenya

Abstract

This report forms part of a larger study titled Advancing the Rights of Children: Assessing the Effectiveness of Transnational Advocacy Networks for Child Rights. Norwegian-Kenyan Civil Society Partnerships Examined. It was conducted jointly by the African Network for the Prevention and Protection against Child Abuse and Neglect (ANPPCAN) and the Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI). Kenya’s reporting to the treaty body of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is addressed. It discusses the relationship between the official report submitted by the Government of Kenya and the parallel report prepared by civil society organisations.
