action_plan:

The informative meetings on the elimination of child labour for public institutions were held in all project provinces. 271 local public staff were trained on child labour, its causes and effects, global and national statistics, child labour in agriculture, and combating child labour; creating awareness on the issue; and contribute to inter-institutional coordination. The project will continue to contribute to overall policy advocacy and implementation, expansion of the knowledge base, and improvement of institutional capacity for the elimination of child labour in seasonal agriculture. At the micro level, the project will continue to strengthen the central and local capacity of the MoLSS and relevant institutions as well as local authorities for the elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour (WFCL) in seasonal agriculture. Moreover, ILO-FAO e-learning modules on the elimination of child labour in agriculture have been completed and launched in Turkish with 7 complementary modules focusing on Turkish context for the use of trainers. The e-learning course is also available for self-learners who are interested in the topic. In addition, in the extension period, the project will strength necessary links between e-METİP and e-school registries based on the previous achievements. Existing database on seasonal agricultural workers and their children will be improved together with MoLSS in order to strengthen child labour monitoring mechanism through compiling existing databases at national and local level with the establishment of necessary links. Furthermore, an exit/handover strategy and action plan will be formulated with stakeholders by the end of the first year of the new phase (2024). The exit strategy will be covering sustainability aspects, implementation tools and stakeholder take-over in order to ensure ownership after the project completion.

title:

Identify local public partners’ critical needs in terms of institutional capacity and focus on an exit strategy with a gradual transition of project responsibilities to active local partners/governors and promote the use of E-METIP: The implementing partner plays a critical role in referring children to social support centres and mobilizing public resources for project activities. The ownership in the certain provinces is reassuring and the interest level of the (newly integrated) local authorities to carry out the intervention is promising. To ensure a smooth exit, it is advised to plan a gradual transition of project activities to active local partners/governors before the project comes to an end. This may be done by selecting one pilot region and providing direct access to human and financial resources for public authorities/local governance (e.g. in the form of grant management based on TOR and/or direct contracting). In this frame, the efficient use of the E-METIP system may significantly decrease the necessary resources to identify children.
