Download PDF

The internet is a vast and fast growing resource and, together with new technologies, it provides

new opportunities for children and young people when it comes to education and skills

development, communication, social interaction and entertainment. However, while the internet

is acknowledged to be a powerful and invaluable resource, it is important that children and

young people are aware of, and protected from, the risks they may encounter online such as

exposure to sexual and violent content, cyberbullying, cybercrime, among others.This policy brief offers a contextual analysis of the current Child Online Protection (COP)

environment in Ghana and gives important recommendations on how to ensure that children

can utilise the opportunities the Internet offers without the potential adverse effects.
