The EAC Child Policy is the culmination of various processes for the harmonisation of standards and approaches for the child rights and implementation of the rights in the EAC. The text states that Children deserve the highest attainable standards of social, moral, physical, emotional and cognitive development. The text starts with an introduction on the background and continues with situational analysis on legal frameworks and partner states. In Section 3 the vision is defined as: An East African Community where child rights and wellbeing are guaranteed; while the Policy mission is to promote the realization of child rights. The text further elaborates on priority areas and policy statements; roles and responsibilities; financing; monitoring, evaluation and reporting.
