On Friday, September 11, 2026, CEDEPA joined the Child Protection Committee (CPC) of Gbrimani to engage the Chief and his elders on ongoing child protection efforts in the community.

During the meeting, the CPC briefed the traditional leaders on its activities, progress made, and challenges encountered in carrying out its mandate. The Committee also presented the draft community by-laws on child protection to the Chief and his elders for their consideration.

Following discussions, the Chief and his elders endorsed the draft by-laws and supported the proposal to present them to community members at a town hall meeting for broader consideration and approval.

One of the elders indicated that he has heard about the enforcement of similar community by-laws in Yipelgu and stressed the need for Gbrimani to adopt similar measures to strengthen the protection of children.

The engagement represents an important step towards establishing a community-owned framework for addressing practices that undermine the rights and well-being of children in Gbrimani.

This initiative forms part of the Promoting Child Rights and Equal Opportunities for Children in Street and Other Vulnerable Situations Project II, implemented by the Centre for Development and Policy Advocacy(CEDEPA)in partnership with Safe-Child Advocacy
