Country Level Engagement and Assistance to Reduce Child Labor (CLEAR)

The project will assist 10 member States to take targeted actions to eliminate the worst forms of child labour. This will be achieved by providing critically needed and technical guidance support in the areas of legislation, enforcement, monitoring, development and implementation of national action plans, and improved implementation of policies and social programs with an impact on child labour. This proposal is organized under four components that are mutually reinforcing. The first component will improve specific aspects of national legislation on child labour including its worst forms so that the national legislative framework is in compliance with international standards. The second component will improve monitoring and enforcement of laws and policies related to child labour through improving the capacity of national inspection systems as well as establishing/improving child labour monitoring systems. The third component will build national capacity to develop, validate, adopt and implement their National Action Plans on the elimination of child labour. The forth component aims to enhance implementation of national and local policies and programs and to improve social policies and programs that will have a positive impact on child labour (such as basic education policies and programs, vocational training, social protection services, and employment creation and poverty reduction initiatives). The Project will be implemented by the ILO through its International Program on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC), assisted by other relevant ILO units, offices and specialists.
