comments:

Almost all projects in ILO Afghanistan have included child labour in its interventions either directly or indirectly as a condition and a message in crisis response-related interventions. Indeed, ILO Afghanistan has conducted trainings on child labour as well as on OSH in its activities supporting development of MSMEs among women affected by the crisis. Both the ARC and PPLL projects have continuously advocated with its donors to initiate funding for child labour elimination work in the country but there is still no clear response on this.

action_plan:

Include child labour elimination elements using lessons from the ARC Project in other projects, especially those responding to crisis in Afghanistan.

title:

6. Strengthen child labour programming in Afghanistan. Seek funding opportunities to continue to engage in child labour programming, prioritising the brick kiln, coal mining, and agriculture sectors where child labour was found to have a high prevalence. In the current political environment where direct engagement with government partners may be challenging, interventions aimed towards building the capacity of Workers’ and Employers’ Organizations as well as interventions towards supporting MSMEs in increasing their capacities to improve OSH and withdraw children engaged in hazardous and WFCL may be more viable.
