Mr Asante made the call at a National Dialogue on financing child protection held in Accra on the theme: “Beyond Policy: Financing child protection to secure every child’s future.

He said child protection should be recognised as an investment in human capital, adding that private-sector corporate social responsibility could complement government financing.
