Building on Initiatives and strengthening partnerships to Tackle Child Labour through Education (TACKLE) in Fiji

The overall objective of the Building on Initiatives and strengthening partnerships to Tackle Child Labour through Education (TACKLE) in Fiji (FIJ/14/01/EEC) is to sustain efforts to progressively eliminate child labour, including the worst forms of child labour in Fiji. The purpose of the project is to strengthen the capacity of national and local authorities to formulate, implement and enforce policies to fight child labour in coordination with social partners and civil society. The project will strengthen mechanisms for the Government, unions and employers as central focal points for child labour to dialogue, ensure ownership and mainstream child labour elimination into relevant national policies, strategies and programmes. In particular, the project will support direct actions to target children in child labour and at risk and ensure they have access to education, skills training and rehabilitation support. The two key elements of the project are to (i) strengthen the enabling environment for the national and local partners to enforce policies and programmes on child labour, and (ii) to implement direct actions to withdraw children from child labour and prevent and protect children at risk, will be interlinked and interdependent.
