UNSDCF 2023-27, which UN agencies contribute to, has outcome 2 "Enhanced access to quality social services, protection, and self-reliance opportunities for all people living in vulnerable situations in the country". The people living in vulnerable situations include children in labour.

action_plan:

The Jordan office is usually constrained with funding availability on to what extent it can have a long-term and comprehensive project. Some projects, such as PROSPECTS, take the more comprehensive approach. The office continues exploring possibility to jointly work with other UN agencies, such as UNHCR, UNICEF, and FAO.

title:

8. Consider a more comprehensive project when addressing child labour with a longer timeframe and, if possible, to be jointly implemented with other UN agencies
Addressing the complex problem of child labour takes substantial time and efforts because changing belief, attitudes and behaviours, as well as improving beneficiaries' economic security and social mobility, takes many years to be achieved. It is therefore recommended to design and implement a more comprehensive and longer term project that adequately addresses the various dynamics involved in child labour. A joint project in partnership with relevant UN agencies (e.g. UNICEF & UNHCR) would also lead to more effective results as different dimensions of the work can be handled by the different agencies, each according to its specialization. Expanding into other locations may be considered by such a project, given that child labour in Jordan is spreading in Jordan across various regions.
