description:

Phase II of the surgical project did adopt a flexible and process-based approach for eradication of child labour by means of identifying age cohorts and identifying corresponding actions for these cohorts. Implementing partners mentioned for instance that they had adopted a zero tolerance for children under nine years of age working at all and insisted that these children be sent to NFE and then be mainstreamed. Conversely, the project operated NFEs remained willing to enrol older children into its NFE centres even if they were still working at the vendor workshops. As the surgical industry was declared 'hazardous', it is not admissible even for children over 14 to be working in it, albeit some processes are more hazardous than others, which enabled identification of numerous areas within the vendor workshops where children over 14 to work under approved conditions like strict adult supervision, work for not more than four hours, provided they are also getting an education.
