Abstract
The study focuses on understanding the reintegration assistance provided for child returnee migrants in the Hadiya Zone and the practical application of normative frameworks in protecting the rights of returnee children. The study assesses the reintegration of returnee child migrants based on the four fundamental principles relating to children’s rights, survival, and development, non-discrimination, right to be heard and the best interests of the child. The study mainly employed qualitative research methodology and various data collection tools, including focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and field observations. Drawing on the empirical data collected from Hadiya Zone Misha Wereda and Lemo Wereda the study reveals the gaps in the legal system and practical challenges and prospects in the reintegration of the child returnees. Based on the analysis of the data and the gaps observed, this thesis recommends various measures to be undertaken, for stakeholder’s further engagement and future enhancements on the rights of the study group in the study area.
