The report ranks Africa’s most and least child-friendly governments based on a range of factors, indicators and data, including child marriage.

It also highlights three types of legal approaches that countries have adopted to address child marriage across Africa:


  • Countries that criminalise the practice

  • Countries that ban or invalidate marriages below the minimum age

  • Countries that prescribe a minimum age of marriage without criminalising or banning the practice.
