Education Initiative: Combating Exploitive Child Labor through Education (ONJOI) Learning Description Improvement of school quality and activities was recognized both by the communities and by the government. However, connections of these activities to child labor prevention or withdrawn is still weak. These activities can be considered a starting point to initiating increased community awareness. Based on the results recognized by the communities and educators, the project should intensify its activities regarding child labor. Click here to access the report |

Education Initiative: Combating Exploitive Child Labor through Education (ONJOI) Learning Description Project objectives need to be grounded in solid cooperation with state structures. The first step to this collaboration lies in advocacy efforts and in raising broad and national awareness of child labor issues in order to support locally focused actions. The predicted influence of advocacy training for civil society actors and municipal administration was not achieved given the scope of the project and the incapacity of establishing solid relationships.

Education Initiative: Combating Exploitive Child Labor through Education (ONJOI) Learning Description Regarding sustainability of interventions, the inclusion of the ONJOI project within ChildFund International’s former and ongoing initiatives and projects in Benguela allowed support of ONJOI activities and may contribute to the extension of its results for a longer period. The Programa Infantil Comunitário (Community Child Program) includes social educators for preprimary education and has been implemented since 2008 in Zona F. ChildFund International also has a sponsoring program that will continue for the coming years and has applied for extra funding from the organization’s headquarters to continue ONJOI activities until the end of the school year.

Education Initiative: Combating Exploitive Child Labor through Education (ONJOI) Learning Description Funding a child labor project in a post-conflict country such as Angola poses some difficulties with regard to timing and sustainability of actions. As priority is normally given to reconstruction efforts, addressing child labor has been postponed. Acting in the area of education to fight child labor is also a challenge due to the existing conditions of the school system, school infrastructure, and family poverty. An education-oriented project may rely successfully on parents’ and children’s eagerness to access school and return to a normal life but has to count on the extended and profound needs that must be addressed first.

Education Initiative: Combating Exploitive Child Labor through Education (ONJOI) Learning Description Project findings on the ground, such as the need to contribute primarily to school rebuilding, teacher training, and school meals, revealed the need to focus on basic conditions of schools when targeting child protection from labor through education. Including child labor issues in such rebuilding activities helps initiate local and national discussion and awareness on this subject but will not necessarily produce objective results in such a short period of time.

Combating Exploitive Child Labor Through Education - Colombia Learning Description El Proyecto Edúcame Primero Colombia tiene mayor perfil de presencia y relaciones gubernamentales con las diferentes regiones en que trabaja que a nivel central. Esto puede ser debido al proceso de descentralización colombiano. Si bien es cierto que era necesario afianzar las relaciones gubernamentales regionales para poder trabajar, el personal del Proyecto entiende que debe incrementar las relaciones a nivel central por la importancia que éste reviste.

Combating Exploitive Child Labor Through Education - Colombia Learning Description El personal del Proyecto y otros actores perciben que una intervención de menos de un año no es suficiente para completar el ciclo de retiro de los NNA del trabajo explotador, por lo que los tiempos deberían ampliarse. Una vez terminado el ciclo, perciben los entrevistados que sus ex beneficiarios podrían de nuevo enrolarse en el trabajo, por las necesidades y precariedad de las condiciones de vida.

Combating Exploitive Child Labor Through Education - Colombia Learning Description El modelo de los espacios, sobre todo los de los EpC, ha proveído evidencias al Ministerio de Educación Nacional acerca de la importancia de crear y apoyar espacios que puedan fungir como jornadas complementarias educativas que faciliten el sano crecimiento de los menores y que los alejen de los peligros del trabajo infantil explotador. Si bien, las jornadas complementarias no están insertadas aún en el sistema educativo gubernamental, existe ya una resolución del Ministerio que impulsa su creación. Esto es un ejemplo de cómo la experiencia del Proyecto mostró los beneficios que se puede obtener el sistema educativo al utilizar metodologías educacionales para combatir el trabajo infantil.

Combating Exploitive Child Labor Through Education - Colombia Learning Description Se observó en Cali que el Proyecto a través de Fe y Alegría mantiene excelentes relaciones y coordinación con el SENA. Esta relación se establece dentro de un marco de cooperación. Es menester reconocer por parte del SENA que éste organismo en el cumplimiento de sus mandatos no escatima esfuerzos para lograr sus objetivos. Por ejemplo, es la práctica usual que los beneficiarios del aprendizaje vocacional se movilicen a las diferentes estructuras con que cuenta el SENA. Pero en Cali, si hay dificultades con el transporte de los beneficiarios del Proyecto, el personal del SENA se traslada a los barrios, por más peligrosos que éstos sean o sean percibidos, y adaptan la oferta de sus servicios a las condiciones de cada comunidad con la que trabajan. Es muy positiva la claridad que tiene el personal acerca de cuál es su misión y de cumplirla. Click here to access the report |
