Recommendation 5: Ensure that laws and regulations adopted at the national level are complemented by clear guidance for implementation at the level of local administration An important aspect of the project has been capacity building support for the adoption of appropriate laws, regulations, policies and action plans for the eradication of child labour. The evaluation report has been able to cite a number of instances, in the countries covered by the project in its first phase of support for these measures. However, in a number of cases interviewees have indicated that these measures at the national level have not been complemented by clear guidance at the level of local administration. This appears to be an important shortcoming, which needs to be addressed and overcome during the second phase of the project. The success of the project will depend in large part on synergies between the higher-level policy work at the national level, and the grassroots and community-based initiatives at the local level, in particular in the areas where the incidence of child labour is significant in commodity supply chains. It is recommended that the second phase of the project give high priority to the preparation and issuance of such guidance materials, backed by training programmes, and adapted to the specific situation of diverse actors and intended beneficiaries in the target areas.
