- IGA (income generating activities) and training for mothers/fathers/guardian (250) 413 reached
- Building/rehabilitation of 17 schools (15 achieved)
- Village child labour committee (36 created)
- Final evaluation: ”objectives achieved quite well”
- Uncompleted activities (i.e. school classes) or unsatisfactorily achieved (e.g. some vocational trainings) of phase 1 finalised under phase 2
Phase 2: Main activities for current phase
- Consolidation of phase 1 (child labour committee, district involvement)
- Creation of a steering committee and working group
- Withdrawal/prevention (1500)
- Support primary education (12 classes, 1 dormitory)
- Vocational training (200)
- IGA for mothers/fathers/guardian (300)
- IGA at school (9)
- Awareness raising activities for tobacco growers (1800) and district officials (20), teachers (30)
- Child labour committees and increased community and local authorities capacity
- Develop model interventions for prevention and elimination of child labour
- Contribute to the national policy debate on Child labour
Overall target
- Children population estimated in 9 Urambo districts: 10% = 5’413
- Phase 2 directly reached children 1700 = 3.14 %
Achievements
- Good partnership with local authorities
- Collaboration with tobacco sector: training of leaf technicians, oxen training
- Integrated effort on child labour in the district (a part of UTSP project ILO and Winrock International are intervening in other wards of the district through the Time bound project for ILO/IPEC and Teach project for Winrock).
- Great opportunity to have a coordinated approach and increase the impacts
- District considering the possibility of allocating 10% of the incomes from the tobacco tax to support activities against child labour
- General trend of improved school performance in Urambo District. Possible reasons:
- Free and compulsory primary education and improved school infrastructure (and also 10 new secondary school between 2006 and 2008 in Urambo)
- Awareness raising activities: the % of school children failing at standard 7 lower in project area (PA)- i.e. Kaliua ward (randomly selected classes) -compared to the entire Urambo district.
- Exit strategy: a study for establishing a framework to eliminate child labour is being undertaken
- Summary of the implemented activities and beneficiaries (at 02/2009):
Other activities:
- 340 desks, 17 chairs and 17 tables distributed to phase I classrooms
- IGA at school: 18 teachers trained. IGA for families: sunflowers, and others
- 1’251 children identified for withdrawal and reintegration in primary school and 246
for vocational training
Concerns:
- M&E system to be strengthened, notably outcomes and impact
- Need to accelerate the process to insure the adequate realisation of the objectives
- Limited level of capacity of the implementing agencies (IA)
- Disbursement procedure long winding
- Sustainability: IGA implementation complex
