comments:

The targeted users of the stated lesson learnt are the implementing partners, participating CSOs, Government departments , project staff, DCLC and CCLCs.

challenges:

Some of the negative issues /challenges related : 1. Hostile environment in the communities towards the project, especially traditional leadership; 2. Inadequate resources to implement some project activities and motivate local stakeholders ; 3. Incompetent and unwilling stakeholders that may be engaged and be part of the project; and 4. The project staff has no control on the stakeholders because they are not employed by them.

success:

Some of the positive issues relate to: 1. Some areas that were not targeted by the project are now aware of the importance of reducing child labour and demanding for the project to be extended to their areas. 2. Due to effective awareness raising most children prevented and withdrawn from child labour have been enrolled in schools. 3. Traditional and community leaders have joined the fight against child labour.

context:

This approach is vital for continuous fight against child labour. It requires the involved of all community, district and national stakeholders. Additionally a spectra of CSOs, government departments, media, private sector and traditional and community leaders who are coordinated by project staff. The Approach requires the following to be achieved: 1. A committed and competent project team that is able to harness every stakeholder to advocate and lobby key government in reducing child labour; 2. Involvement of local community structures, wiling citizens who are willing to champions issues child labour; 3. Implementing programmes (activities) that meet the expectations and needs of the target communities; 4. Willingness of government departments to get involved in the project activities and fight child labour; and 5. Implementing partners that understand the local and traditional norms and environment. 6. Use of local community government structures (teachers, nurses. Agricultural extension officers, community development assistants, etc.)

description:

Integrated, area based and multi actor approach is clearly achievable when all key stakeholders involved in the project play their roles accordingly and follow the planned activities. In the case of the ARISE II Project, all key stakeholders played their roles accordingly, and hence the project attained its purpose
