recommendations:

title:

8. ILO and its partners should continue a programmatic response to address child labour in India focusing on policy and enabling environment interventions. Ongoing efforts should: a) Renew engagement with the national government to improve national child labour data availability. b) Consolidate the progress made in the mica sector in Jharkhand and Bihar at the state policy level and consider further investment to apply the mica sector model in another mining sector locality, prioritising one of the states where the project interventions began but were short term. c) Elevate advocacy for convergence of social protection policies, and school-to-work transition programmes at the state level.

action_plan:

Attempt to advocate for conduct of child labour surveys and expand the work on mica in another state and promote convergence programmes on child labour at the state level.

comments:

Given the current political climate and lack of appetite for grand surveys, especially at the national level, it is deemed not wise to push of child labour surveys. The successful use of the ARC project's approach in the mica space in Jharkhand and Bihar, has been replicated in the sandstone space of Rajasthan under the PPLL Project. The same project is expanding the work in the mica sector to Rajasthan. In both Jharkhand and Rajasthan, a review on inter-agency coordination as basis for convergence programmes on child labour has been completed and will be used as basis for developing interventions to strengthen convergence in the delivery of social protection schemes to child labour families.
