An International Labour Organisation (ILO)-backed project to prevent and eliminate the worst forms of child labour has proven a success in the central province of Quang Nam , one of the five localities throughout the country benefited from it.
The project, carried out in the province’s five communes from July 2011 to September 2013, has helped change the involved parties’ awareness of child labour.
With the coordination of the provincial’s Department of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs, the project has compiled records of working children in the target communes and put in place measures to support them. Local production facilities also received assistance and instruction to improve working conditions, benefiting as many as 1,000 child workers, said Nguyen Thuy, deputy head of the Department.
Besides, local officials were provided with training to enhance their capacity in dealing with the issue.
Addressing the project’s review ceremony on October 21, the project’s chief technical advisor Maria Luisa Rodriguez Campos said based on the outcomes of the project, experts will make recommendations to local authorities and the national government, helping relevant agencies build an action plan to deal with the problem sustainably.-VNA
