The African report on child wellbeing: How child-friendly are African governments? - Swaziland

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 Swaziland ranked 45th in the Child-friendliness Index, out of the 52 African governments covered in the assessment. This was mainly for two reasons: first, as a result of the Government of Swaziland not putting in place appropriate legal provisions to protect children against abuse and exploitation, its fair commitment to achieving favourable wellbeing outcomes for children. It did however perform well in its commitment in allocating adequate share of the national budget to provide for the basic needs of children.
