Policy gaps. Child rights activists said Uganda has a vast number of laws, policies and programmes and if put in practice, they would effectively end child marriage.
Mr Gerald Baale, the Kamwenge senior probation and social welfare officer, noted that despite the many laws and policies in place, the country continues experiencing significant sexual and reproductive health challenges such as high cases of teenage pregnancy and early marriages in schools. This, he said, is due to poor implementation of the laws and policies.
