Region/Country |
GLOBAL |
Project Duration |
September 2002 – October 2005 |
Fiscal Year & Funding Level |
FY2005: $986,975 |
Problem to be Addressed |
Child labor monitoring (CLM) systems work to strengthen compliance with core labor standards and verify that children prevented from entering or removed from work have access to school and other suitable alternatives. At the time of project funding a general model or prototype for developing and sustaining a child labor monitoring system did not exist. |
Project Objectives |
Development objective: Contribute to the elimination of child labor, especially the worst forms, by stimulating and verifying the removal of children from hazardous and exploitive labor conditions and their transfer to appropriate alternatives. This is to be accomplished through the following:
-
A knowledge base created on child labor monitoring systems including tested approaches, lessons learned, a “prototype” model, and adaptations of the model for specific sectors and conditions;
-
IPEC project staff, ILO constituents, and selected institutional partners have the capacity to implement and adjust the basic model to their own situations.
|
Summary of Activities |
-
Developed guidelines, a handbook, training manuals and tool kits on child labor monitoring;
-
Provided training to IPEC staff, ILO constituents, labor inspectors on CLM;
-
Provided technical assistance to projects carrying out CLM activities.
