Participation and involvement of children in a sustainable manner in project actions against child labour will render added value to proposals under this EC call for proposals fighting child labour. The child participation methodologies and approaches should be developed in such a manner that they should “effectively foster genuine and meaningful child participation that is based on clear purposes that are well understood by participating children and adults, is of voluntary nature and takes children’s views seriously while promoting these within safe mechanisms and structures for consultation.”
The other necessary requirement for applying for this call is partnership. Partnership is critical to implementing actions under the call and partnerships can be with local NGOs, government organizations and private companies. There is particular importance attached to the quality of partnership.
Expected Results:
Some of the expected results are:
- Increased ratification of ILO conventions against child labour and greater effectiveness in their application
- Enhanced understanding, stronger analysis and greater dissemination of effective policy choices, best
