    POSITION PAPER
    Child poverty is a pressing issue that needs to be demands urgent attention and action and
    Ghana is committed to address child poverty in its borders. A child is the future of a nation and
    no child should be neglected. A child should be provided with nutrition, love, care and
    education around the world.

    Many NGO’s and UN agencies are working towards ending child poverty. The Global Coalition
    to End Child Poverty, chaired by UNICEF, has become a powerful initiative for raising awareness
    about child poverty and accelerating global efforts to tackle it. SDG goals, which was adopted by
    all UN member states includes SDG 1 which aims to get rid of poverty. Many organizations like
    the world bank provide financial aid to developing countries for child education, healthcare and
    more. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child sets out the rights of the child.
    It emphasizes the significance of protecting children from poverty and ensuring their wellbeing.

    Education is a vital tool to get rid of the vicious cycle of poverty. Recognizing this, Ghana has
    taken many steps to ensure education for children, such as giving at least one hot meal to
    students in primary school with the assistance of the world health food programme and the
    Dutch government. Ghana also follows that gives free, compulsory and universal education till
    the ninth grade.

    The Republic of Ghana also provides social protection programmes aimed to reduce child
    poverty such as the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) program which provides
    financial aid to low-income families in Ghana. The National Social Protection Policy through
    embraces the establishment of sustainable mechanisms for the protection of people living in
    conditions of extreme poverty and accompanying vulnerability and exclusion, it embraces a
    strategic vision of an all-inclusive and socially empowered society.

    Healthcare is also an important factor to get rid of child poverty Ghana has made considerable
    progress in key health indicators over the past two decades. Between 2007 and 2017, under-five
    mortality decreased by 37%, with pregnancy-related maternal mortality decreasing by 24%. The
    Free Maternal Health Program provides pregnant women healthcare free of charge. The
    National Health Insurance Scheme (NIHS) also provides Healthcare coverage to low-income
    families in Ghana.

    One of the best ways to enable children to completely develop and thrive is to invest in their
    health and well-being through better healthcare and sanitation, nutrition, access to water,
    education and social protection. Healthcare and Sanitation are a must for children as without
    healthcare facilities children will not be treated and without proper sanitation more disease will
    spread among children. Nutrition and Water are a necessity for life and without sufficient
    nutrition a child cannot prosper. Education is the best way to break the cycle of poverty and
    develop children. Social Protection programmes include cash transfers to vulnerable families, so
    families can afford to take care of their children and provide them with an education. Child
    Poverty is multi-faceted and without a proper plan of action will not be eradicated.

    In Conclusion, Ghana looks forward to collaboration with other member states on removing
    barriers for child poverty.
