The Rights of Children Article 28 of the 1992 Constitution gives full recognition to the rights of all children in Ghana and enjoins Parliament, parents and society at large to respect and protect the rights of children in order to ensure their well-being and development. Special care and maintenance provisions are contained in Article 28 of the Constitution. Ghana chalked a major international feat in the protection of the right of the child by being the first country to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of Child (CRC) in 1990. Ghana went further to demonstrate its commitment to CRC by preparing a National Programme of Action called "The child Cannot Wait", to deal with the provisions of the CRC. Prior to the ratification of CRC, Ghana had long displayed its commitment to ,upholding the right of the child. In 1979, the Ghana National Commission on Children (GNCC) was established to articulate children's concerns and issues to shape policies and initiatives affecting the Ghanaian child. Landmark initiatives aimed at promoting the rights of the child in Ghana include the commissioning of a consultant in 1985/86 by the GNCC to conduct a study on the status of the Ghanaian child. As a socially vulnerable group, growth of the child and attainment of his right as enshrined in the CRC are being addressed in a multi-faceted manner: • In the area of education, the FCUBE Programme has been introduced to address issues of inequitable access, deterioration and inefficiency service delivery. Early Childhood Development Centre have been set up to promote child-care at pre-school level. • On health, national programmes dubbed the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI), Primary Health Care (PHC) and the proposed National Health Insurance Scheme have been designed to protect the child against preventable killer diseases as well as addressing the constraints affecting the child's access to health delivery.
