LEBANON AND JORDAN: Children engaged in the worst forms of child labour have special needs and therefore require specialised programming; support should be holistic (meeting all the needs of the child), long-term and flexible. Long-term funding is required to develop effective education, protection and livelihoods programmes that effectively address the worst forms of child labour in collaboration with the other initiatives within the humanitarian response to the Syrian refugees.

action_plan:

"LEBANON: The project has strategically focused in the first phase on the policy interventions together with direct services. However, this phase has strongly addressed direct services to children of differetn nationalities and worked with different NGOs to broaden the scope of the areas over Lebanon. Direct services model that provided services to 700 working children, Jordanaians & Syrians, through another CL project funded by ESDC. This intervention was closely linked to capacity building efforts carried out within the RDPP project."

title:

In order to implement impactful interventions, policy interventions and direct interventions should be interlinked. Stand-alone interventions achieve only a minimal impact, and if they are not linked to a system, they fail to achieve sustainable results. Alternatively, interventions focusing solely on policy may lack impact on direct action on the ground. It is important to ensure that mechanisms are put in place to, for example, ensure the livelihoods of families of children withdrawn from child labor. Additionally, a formal strategy to drive attitudinal and behavioral change amongst parents of child laborers is essential in eradicating child labor practices.
