Conclusion and recommendations Looking at the situation of children with albinism in Tanzania, particularly those who are staying the Buhangija Centre, the delegation from the ACERWC appreciates the various challenges the Government, the children and their families face, and concludes that the children are in an extremely vulnerable position, which makes them easy targets for witchcrafts and the consumers of witchcraft.

The Committee learns that only handful of CSOs which are actively working towards to finding a solution for the 16
