Abstract [en]

The chapter present findings from a field reseaerch in Geita District on the effect on childrens right to health and eduction when cost-sharing was introduced in the context of the neoliberal structural adjusments programs. The study finds that school enrolment fell dramaticall and dropout rates dramatically increased. In particular among poor households. We analysed the findings with Amartya Sen's capability approach and conclude that childrens right's to education as well as their capabilities drastically has been reduced as a consequence of cost sharing. The quality of education has not improved either.
