Description

Utilizing funds appropriated in FY 2012, the U.S. Department of Labor’s (USDOL) Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) will award up to $3.5 million for one or more cooperative agreement(s) to strengthen policies and enforcement capacity to combat child labor among vulnerable populations in Ecuador and Panama, including among Afro-descendant, indigenous, and migrant populations. The cooperative agreement will also facilitate improved coordination among national, regional, and municipal governments in these efforts. The project will promote sharing of project experiences between the two countries and with other countries in the region on efforts to combat child labor among vulnerable populations. In Ecuador, the project will also support policies that focus on the relation between child labor and disabilities. This policy-and-enforcement-focused project will complement a separate project to provide education and livelihood services to combat child labor among vulnerable populations in Ecuador and Panama
