The Children's Act is "an Act of Parliament to make provision for parental responsibility, fostering, adoption, custody, maintenance, guardianship, care and protection of children; to make provision for the administration of children's institutions; to give effect to the principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child and for connected purposes.

Kenya ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child on July 31, 1990. The enactment of the Children's Act of 2001[2] gives effect to the obligations of Kenya under the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the African Children's Charter.[3] Since its ratification, Kenya has been working to implement its ideals in domestic legislation concerning childcare and protection.



Kenya's formal child protective system has been developing since independence in the early 1960s. Legislation addressing children's issues was in place since this time and included the Children's and Young Person's Act,[4] the Guardianship of Infants Act,[5] and the Adoption Act[6]. These statutes remained in legal force up and until March 2002, when the new Children's Act of 2001 entered into force. For these 40 plus years, there has also been a Children's Department, which is hosted under the auspices of the Ministry for Home Affairs and specifically tasked with dealing with issues of implementation of child care and protection and juvenile justice. For example, the Department operates the child care and protection institutions, such as rehabilitation centers for children considered as being in need of care and protection. Furthermore, there are children's courts all over the country, with magistrates specifically assigned as children's courts magistrates. The Nairobi Children's Court, however, remains the only physically separate, child-friendly court in the country. All Children's Courts are courts of first instance, with the effect that they lay beneath the High Court in the court structure. Finally, the private sector (nongovernmental organizations) runs foster care and reception centers and programs that cater for children without family care. These must be registered with the Children's Department.
