The Migration and Rights Lab team is providing consulting support service for a National Assessments on the Impact of COVID 19 on the Rights and Welfare of Children with Disabilities in Africa. Lockdown measures, and its attendant socio-economic crisis, carry myriad of risks, including an increase in severe forms of exploitation, but yet, there is limited analysis on the ramifications of these longer-term effects on the rights and welfare of children with disabilities in Africa, questioning the effort geared towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), The African Charter on Rights and Welfare of the Child and Chapter 5 of Ghana’s 1992 Republican Constitution. This regional assessment adopts a mixed method approach, utilizing both primary and secondary data.
