Abstract

Child trafficking, harmful forms of child labor, and child domestic abuse are social protection deficits that impact Nigerian Children. Also there is a need for a more coordinated and equity-based response to social protection in the context of HIV and AIDS in Nigeria. As the nation seeks to develop and strengthen social protection linkages and services, Indigenous Social Care (ISC) systems and activities are known to have informally sustained social wellness in traditional settings. ISC includes indigenous knowledge, beliefs, and social care practices that strengthen and promote the well-being of children and families. ISC practices such as Kinship care, Oriki (ancestral praise), naming ceremonies, wedding ceremonies, festivals, communal cash transfer schemes, power structures and age groupings presented as viable native systems that may support the implementation and enforcement of National Social Protection policies and programs such as the Childâ€™s Rights Act, Human trafficking and child labor laws, National HIV Policy and In Care of the People (COPE) cash transfer program.
