action_plan:

The ILO developed some proposals on child labour that took into consideration most of the elements mentioned in the evaluation report. The ILO has been putting numerous efforts in drafting the National Action Plan to fight against Child Labour and will continue to provide technical support for its tripartite constituents to endorse it soon. Furthermore, the ILO will keep on strengthening social and development partners to take over and scale up the Child Labour Monitoring System, SCREAM and CFLS with great emphasis being given to refugees, IDPS and vulnerable host communities. The ILO will also continue to provide capacity building to key national stakeholders and promote awareness raising campaigns to sensitize local communities on child labour issues at national and local level.

title:

Develop proposals for donor funding to continue with the integrated approach to address worst forms of child labour - focusing on protecting families and children rather than punishing them – by expanding to the national level (whilst also continuing to engage in KRI), including through: a) Continuing with technical assistance at the law and policy level to (i) align appropriate instruments and mechanisms with international labour standards and to durably embed these in national and regional frameworks; and (ii) address implementation and enforcement of legislation. b) Scaling up the CLMS to national level, continuing to focus on addressing root causes of child labour, including conflict and poverty, through referrals for (i) psycho-social support to refugees, IDPs and vulnerable host communities, (ii) enhancing access to education for child labourers (through SCREAM and CFLS), and (iii) to employment for their families (through vocational skills training – including in non-gender-stereotypical occupations, apprenticeships, and small business grants for adults and young persons of working age). c) Continuing capacity building of key national stakeholders, and awareness raising of local communities, with an increased focus at Baghdad level.
