Development Policy in 1996 (revised in 2008), no categorical laws have been enacted to ensure that there are enforcement measures against child abuse, child trafficking and exploitation. The State Report also states that there has been very little research into the actual extent of human trafficking and related abuses. Most of the provisions spelt out in the Optional Protocol to the CRC on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography (ratified in April 2003) have already been incorporated in the legislation of Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar. However, research needs to be undertaken, and a continuous process established for curbing the challenges of trafficking in children (including its related abuses) for a proper implementation of the provisions of the ACRWC. The Committee urges the State Party to undertake its obligations under international children’s rights standards to ensure that the legislative and programmatic measures taken are implemented and sustained and that they remain effective to also ensure that the sale and traffic in children is curtailed and eventually eliminated. Budget indices on Mkuza and Mkukuta The Committee notes that there is only one table in the State Report that shows the budgetary allocations for education levels from 2003-2005, and there is no mention of budgetary allocations in the Report, beyond this period. The Committee recommends that a more detailed budget be made available for the period 2005 to 2010 for a proper appreciation of the progress made by the State Party in respect of poverty alleviation, as this single incidence has a devastating effect on children. Definition of a Child and laws on the subject.
