3.3 Requirements Coherent programmatic approach Terre des Hommes Netherlands will fund programmes on worst forms of child labour based on the theory of change with related outputs (Annex 2). Applicants and co-applicants should demonstrate a successful track record in addressing child labour. Intervention strategies While the proposed programme should focus on at least three of the four strategies (prevention, promotion, provision and prosecution), all proposed programme plans should include the cross cutting strategy: participation of children and child rights based approach (CRBP).
Types of activities: 1. Prevention: Strategies should target children vulnerable to (worst forms of) child labour by addressing the root causes such as poverty and lack of education. Activities can include (non-formal) education, TVET, socio-economic development for vulnerable families, social mobilisation, awareness raising campaigns, education and training of the general public, vulnerable groups and government officials, cooperation with the private sector, particularly when it comes to worst forms of child labour. Sustainability of the preventive measures is deemed to be built-in through involvement of community and establishing referral, linkage with local resources.
2. Provision: Immediate support services for child labourers could include medical and psychological care, shelter and legal assistance while longer term services could include a return to the family or community, reintegration into school or income-generating opportunities. Feasible economic opportunities for children victim of labour exploitation or support to their families through e.g. social enterprises. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is expected to be promoted for support provision of the child labours.
3. Promotion: Activities could include addressing the adoption/revision/implementation of National Plans of Action (NPAs) on child labour. This could include developing an advocacy strategy on child labour both for national government as well as regional bodies such as ASEAN and SAARC. This could include following-up ASEAN Labour Ministers’ Work Programme, 2010-2015 and undertake active lobby toward implementation of the Ministers’ commitments. For SAARC, advocacy and lobbying to facilitate achievement of SAIEVAC key results and indicators on child labour. The approach of advocacy and lobby is envisaged to be evidence based, thus research and knowledge management would be an integral part of the programme.
Working with media houses, media stars, other public media and influential businesses, to advocate against (worst forms of) child labour, to warn for the dangers of worst forms of child labour and to put influence on governments, traditional and local leaders and the public opinion towards protection of children against child labour and instead create safe (commercial) alternatives, should be included.
4. Prosecution: Strengthening the judicial and prosecution system through raising awareness, capacity building and extended support (supplementing/complementing services) to the law enforcement/judicial authorities. Facilitating enabling environment for children to seek legal aid and also provide legal support to the victims of child labour exploitation.
Terre des Hommes Netherlands believes that cultural practices and traditions should not be a reason to violate child rights and condone abuse and exploitation. Proposed programme on child labour should also seek to address cultural practices and traditions, particularly in relation to gender. Programme design and planned activities: should Incorporate the guiding principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child Observe child rights programming Define the role of Terre des Hommes Netherlands in the programme plan Identify and quantify the main target groups Include design for monitoring, evaluation, sustainability, exit strategy and audit Reflect a multi-stakeholder strategy
