Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 01
Abstract
This study investigates the effects of institutional policies and procedures on child rights protection in Mityana Municipality, Uganda. Grounded in pragmatic philosophy, a mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather comprehensive data on stakeholders' perceptions regarding child rights protection. The study targeted a population of 200 respondents, with a final sample size of 133 participants. The findings reveal a generally positive perception of institutional policies, with an average mean score of 3.29, indicating a commitment to prioritizing children's rights. However, several areas were identified for improvement, including the clarity of procedures, staff training, and effective communication among institutions. Pearson correlation analysis indicated a very strong positive relationship (r = 0.978) between institutional policies and procedures and child rights protection, with a statistically significant p-value of 0.000. Regression analysis further supported these findings, demonstrating that institutional policies and procedures significantly influence child rights outcomes, with an R-squared value of 0.097. Based on these findings, the study recommends that local government authorities enhance training programs for staff involved in child rights protection, improve communication channels among organizations, conduct regular policy reviews, enhance resource allocation, establish child protection committees, and initiate awareness campaigns focused on children's rights. These measures are essential for strengthening the frameworks that safeguard children's rights. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the necessity for ongoing development and refinement of institutional practices to effectively protect children's rights in Mityana Municipality. Strengthening these frameworks will not only improve child protection outcomes but also ensure a more secure environment for vulnerable children in the community.
