This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the current laws and policies governing child migrant protection across the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to inform Save the Children’s Regional Programme Units’ regional-level advocacy strategy for migrant and refugee children and youth. With a focus on migrant child rights and child protection in six key SADC Member states: Botswana, Eswatini, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe the review highlights the main policy gaps, both in formulation and implementation, preventing SADC from effectively meeting the objectives of key international and regional policy.
