title:

3. Continue promoting and supporting the implementation of a direct intervention model for seasonal migrant workers’ children through public authorities and identify windows of opportunity for tailoring approaches for the withdrawal of children in high-risk age groups: Many stakeholders recognized the project’s success in terms of providing a safe space for children during the harvest season. The project nearly reached its target numbers and was successful in identifying and referring children. Yet the seasonal migrant workers children also have diverse profiles and the needs of children in terms of social inclusion, language skills and social development may vary. In this frame, the project may consider adapting the training program or adding additional modules for certain provinces. In addition, stakeholders also noted limitations of the intervention model keeping children between the ages of 14 to 18 at social support centres. Factors such as monetary and multidimensional poverty highly influence the prevalence of child labour in this age group, as it is one way for families to manage poverty and deprivation risk. School feeding and in-kind programmes may have limited effect in reducing children’s engagement in work.
