Abstract: Prevention of child maltreatment (CM) stakeholder assessments are required to determine the level of readiness and aspects in need of special attention in high-risk settings. Although instruments have been proposed to measure community readiness, few have been implemented in low-income countries. This applies to Mozambique where a CM prevention law has been in place for some time.
