Abstract: In recent years, an assessment of violence against children in many developing countries has been launched by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in collaboration with UNICEF. Beyond the figures, it is child protection policies that must be questioned. Based on a qualitative survey of child protection actors, this article examines the development of such a policy and its limitations in Côte d'Ivoire. Our results show that the intermediary role played by local communities raises serious issues and that a divide is being built between urban and rural areas. © De Boeck Supérieur.
