title:

1. Continue promoting education through a direct intervention model among seasonal migrant workers’ children and identify windows of opportunity for tailoring approaches for the withdrawal of children at the high-risk age group: Many stakeholders recognized the project's success in terms of providing a safe space for children during the harvest season. Some informants noted limitations of the intervention model targeting children between the ages of 14 and 18 years. Factors such as financial and multidimensional poverty highly influence child labour prevalence among 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 effects to reduce children’s engagement in work. In this frame, the project may consider: Tailoring vocational training for children in high school and those who dropped out and supporting university preparation studies through in-kind support and other types of scholarships in cases of full attendance to the summer courses. Piloting a cash transfer model in consultation with the MoLSS and Ministry of National Education for the children under the monitoring group at the city of origin with the pre-condition of full attendance to the school year. Developing a gender-sensitive approach and special training programs for girls who drop out of school and are at high risk of child labour and early marriage.
