title:

Review and revise the strategy for implementation in India, including reviewing a request for a project extension. In India, the MAP 16 project has gotten stalled due to various reasons. It is necessary to speed up the implementation and build on the groundwork done so far during the final year. The COVID-19-induced disruptions continue. But it is possible to undertake field activities that do not need a large gathering. There is also the possibility of undertaking online activities. Since very few activities have been undertaken so far, and considering the investments made in setting up the base, ILO/USDOL should explore the possibility of project extension beyond December 2021. The project should explore initiating the district level child labour surveys under Output 2 on a priority basis. It should not wait for the district-level workshops in Uttar Pradesh to be conducted, as they might not occur soon. The household survey is possible in the current post-COVID-19 situation in districts. Similarly, there is a need to undertake capacity-building exercises with the stakeholders on a priority basis under Output 3. It is possible to undertake these consultations online if physical meetings are not possible. The project should consider holding state-level consultations to disseminate Outputs 1 and Output 2 at the state level, and integrate these with State Action Plans in the last quarter.
