ILAB facilitates opportunities for learning and reflection by publishing learnings documented in project evaluation reports. Lessons learned and promising practices found in these reports are presented here in a searchable database so that these valuable learnings may be considered in the development of new programming. To view the evaluation reports and other research from which these learnings are collected, please see our performance, monitoring and accountability page.

Education Initiative: Combating Exploitive Child Labor through Education (ONJOI) Learning Description Despite some initial resistance at the beginning, most project-related extracurricular and literacy activities were accepted by parents and awareness of the importance of school for children has been generally reinforced.

Education Initiative: Combating Exploitive Child Labor through Education (ONJOI) Learning Description In some areas where the project was implemented, it was difficult to address child labor as the perception of child participation in economic activities is a very sensitive area in rural communities. The ONJOI project confronted communities with a different rationale in the rural areas where the projects developed and initiated processes of community discussion on child labor. Evidence of this effort stands out in parents’ and community members’ speeches. In several locations, the evaluator heard these stakeholders say that if their children had more school activities, they will dismiss the children from their domestic work. Meetings held with the communities, parents associations, and school staff contributed to bringing the issue of child labor and child protection to the discussion and potentially initiated social transformation processes.

Education Initiative: Combating Exploitive Child Labor through Education (ONJOI) Learning Description ChildFund International had other projects that coincided with ONJOI in the Benguela area, but this is not necessarily representative of Angola’s worst child labor situations. As there is also no national survey on this issue, Benguela may be one of many where similar child labor situations can be found. The project should have taken an initial step to learn about child labor issues more deeply and extensively at a national level. Click here to access the report |

Education Initiative: Combating Exploitive Child Labor through Education (ONJOI) Learning Description Types and effectiveness of the services provided contribute to potentially increasing knowledge about child labor in Angola and can contribute to good practices regarding prevention and eradication of child labor. Culturally rooted rural practices, the post-war state, restructuring of child protection mechanisms, and generalized poverty are critical conditions that negatively affected the project and will need to be addressed in a long-term fashion. A project with the timeframe of ONJOI is not sufficient to produce outstanding results regarding child labor. Click here to access the report |

Education Initiative: Combating Exploitive Child Labor through Education (ONJOI) Learning Description Within the monitoring strategy (data collection in the field), the project was able to use various types of contributions, ranging from voluntary and community work to specially hired personnel, which increased awareness and appropriation of the project’s objectives. Participation of different types of community members, depending on their availability and capacity, helped to reach monitoring objectives, produced cumulative effects, and stimulated the process of using monitoring tools regularly.

Education Initiative: Combating Exploitive Child Labor through Education (ONJOI) Learning Description The system contributes to USDOL’s knowledge base within some limitations. The system should ideally be expanded to a broader labor market analysis and/or be integrated into other instruments of child labor assessments—rapid appraisals, local surveys, and national assessments. In this context, it could potentially be used as a true research valid instrument. Click here to access the report |
