Abstract
Research Objectives: First, to assess the normative framework for protection of the child from poverty as set by international and regional human and child rights instruments and accordingly, evaluate the scope and ability of Ugandan law and policy to protect the child from poverty. Secondly, to primarily analyse whether Ugandan law and policy adequately addresses child poverty in line with the recommendations and minimum standards set by the normative framework; and on this basis, if it is ‘fit for purpose’. Significance of the Study: To contribute a legal perspective on how to address child poverty and secondly, to create awareness of the diverse and changing manifestations of child poverty and generate strategic discussions for enhancement of child wellbeing.
