On Tuesday, August 18, 2026, the Chief of Kpilo formally inaugurated the Community Child Protection Taskforce at her palace. The members took an oath of office administered by an officer from the Kumbungu District Department of Social Welfare.

The inauguration forms part of the Promoting Child Rights and Equal Opportunities for Children in Street and Other Vulnerable Situations Project II. The Taskforce will work closely with traditional authorities, community leaders, state institutions and other stakeholders to support the effective enforcement of Kpilo’s community by-laws on child rights, which were adopted at a community town hall meeting a few months ago.

During the ceremony, the Unit Committee Member for Kpilo informed the Chief and participants that the Kumbungu District Assembly had, earlier that same day, convened a stakeholder meeting to discuss plans to introduce similar child protection by-laws across the entire district. According to him, the process is at an advanced stage, with the Assembly working towards completing the necessary procedures for the by-laws to take effect.

The development provides an opportunity to strengthen collaboration between community-led child protection structures and the District Assembly, while reinforcing local efforts to safeguard the rights and welfare of children in Kpilo and surrounding communities.

As part of activities marking the 2026 International Day for Street Children in April, CEDEPA advocated for portable water for Lunbung-Gundaa Community in the Tolon District. This was in recognition of the link between the availability of portable water and child rights protection in rural underserved areas of Northern Ghana.

On August 8, 2026, CEDEPA organised a capacity-strengthening workshop for eight Child Protection Committee (CPC) rapporteurs and project volunteers under the Promoting Child Rights and Equal Opportunities for Children in Street and Other Vulnerable Situations Project II.

The workshop refreshed participants’ understanding of the project’s objectives and expected results across the six beneficiary communities. Participants were also trained on how to document activity outputs and outcomes, track and measure key project indicators, and identify appropriate means of verification.

To strengthen community-level documentation and reporting, the CPC rapporteurs were provided with Activity Reporting Manuals to guide the systematic recording and reporting of their day-to-day activities in their respective communities.

The training is expected to improve the quality and consistency of community-level reporting and provide reliable information for monitoring project progress and results.

A couple of weeks ago, we were pleased to receive an encouraging report from the Child Protection Committee (CPC) of Gbrimani. On their own initiative, members of the Committee mobilised resources, purchased educational materials, and donated them to about 60 bright but needy pupils of Gbrimani-Tibogu Ahmadiyya Primary School.

This community-led initiative shows what local communities can achieve when they are empowered to take responsibility for the well-being and development of their children. It also reflects a growing sense of local ownership, where community members are moving beyond awareness to take practical action in response to the needs of vulnerable children.

The initiative forms part of the project titled:Promoting Child Rights and Equal Opportunities for Children in Street and Other Vulnerable Situations II, implemented by CEDEPA and Safe-Child Advocacy in partnership with community-based Child Protection Committees.

In his message to the Taskforce, the Chief expressed the Palace’s full support and urged members to discharge their responsibilities with humility, fairness and honesty. His message was clear: “You have the support of the Palace. Carry out your duties with humility, fairness and honesty for the good of our community.”

The inauguration marks an important step in strengthening community-led efforts to safeguard children and promote their rights and well-being in Yipelgu.

This is part of the Promoting Child Rights and Equal Opportunities for Street and Other Vulnerable Children's Project II implemented in partnership with Safe-Child Advocacy
