Part VI Access to Data and Information, Public Awareness
Monitoring and Evaluation
It’s imperative to understand that successful and efficient monitoring of child
marriage and providing awareness of it and its consequences depends on
having efficient access to information and data on child related issues.
Access to information and data is dependent on the creation and
maintenance of public records which can be easily accessed, data retrieved
and disseminated efficiently while protecting critical data, such as personal
data to ensure the privacy of the child.
Further, having successful awareness programmes will depend on the nature
of mechanisms put in place to support the awareness campaigns. The
provisions also ensure that the Government carries out effective public
awareness campaigns.
This Part, therefore, provides for detailed measures and interventions to
enable effective access to information and data on child marriage, children
already in marriage, victims of child marriages and children in need of care
and protection. The measures, if included in a law on eradicating child
marriage, will underpin effective monitoring and evaluation of the
effectiveness of the measures and interventions and therefore the efficacy of
the law.
The sections in this Part have been drafted in a manner that will enable the
legislative drafter to cut and past the provisions in the Bill with minimum
change.

Part VII- General Provisions, Offences and Enforcement
