| Abstract | The complex nature of child vulnerability cases in Lesotho has contributed to the need for Community-Based Partnerships in addressing the scourge. Using a qualitative research approach and an explorative design, the paper explored the effectiveness of these partnerships in combating child vulnerabilities that manifest themselves through teenage pregnancy and early marriages. The population of the study was constituted of members from the Child and Gender Protection Unit, child welfare organisations, Social Development officers and the traditional local authorities. The findings of the study show the relevance of traditional child protection mechanisms, the strength of collaboration and optimal resource utilization. However, the study findings also show the effects of migration on the family system, cultural barriers, competition and lack of commitment. The paper conclusively notes the critical role of partnerships in combating children’s vulnerability and recommends capacity building, the promotion of positive cultural practices and more financial support. |
