recommendations:

title:

7. Continue the Bangladesh CO programmatic response to support implementation of the NPA-ECL. Specifically, efforts should: a) Utilise the National Child Labour Survey results to help the constituents identify sectors and locations of prevalence and provide opportunities for policy dialogue arising from the National Child Labour Survey and the hazardous sector establishments survey. b) Provide further capacity building support to the Department for Inspection of Factories and Establishments as a key actor supporting the roll-out and monitoring of the National Plan of Action and coordinating progress between divisional, district and national levels. c) Promote the ESDO/ILO child labour free district model with the Government of Bangladesh towards funding through the forthcoming government project. In the interim, prior to government take-up of the approach, seek alternative funding to expand the model to other districts, considering expansion in urban areas and sectors where girls as well as boys are involved in child labour.

comments:

ILO Dhaka is continuing to support the implementation of the country's national plan of action on child labour the project, “Advancing decent work in Bangladesh”, funded by some EU countries. On the survey results, data from the NCLS 2022 are being utilized in all national dialogues, programme and policy planning as well as in the conduct of research. The survey on hazardous child labour has led the government to form a committee to address findings and act on recommendations. The government has also used the approach of the hazardous child labour survey to conduct the same in other sectors. On DIFE, further capacity building of is being done by the ADW project. The approach is to promote better DIFE coordination among national, divisional, district and upazila levels. On the CLMS developed by ESDO, initial efforts to show this to relevant government agencies and officials were disrupted by recent political upheavals. This will be picked up again in an upcoming national consultation on the CLMS.
