theme:
Child labour
category:
Child labour, forced labour, human trafficking and slavery

comments:
The target group is working children and children at-risk aged 14 and older.
challenges:
This group of children are at high risk of dropping out of school (the drop-out rate is estimated to be 40%). Although boys start to work, the girls are either tasked with looking after their smaller brothers and sisters or early/forcedly married.
success:
In possible future projects more attention should be paid to this problem.
context:
It is crucial that age-appropriate interventions be planned in collaboration with children in this age group, which faces a high risk of school dropout and child labour and incorporated into the Project. The children in this age group, who were interviewed, informed the evaluation that preparatory courses for university entrance exams would be particularly beneficial for them. This indicates a not realised potential.
description:
Many stakeholders and beneficiaries find it acceptable for children, aged 14-15 and older, to work; this perception can be seen as an indication of the need for a mindset shift. There was almost no work in the Project specifically targeting this age group.
administrative_issues:
The resources needed would be moderate.
