Combating Exploitive Child Labor Through Education - Colombia Learning Description The Edúcame Primero Colombia project has a profile of greater awareness in government relations with the different regions with which they work than at a central level. This may be because of the Colombian decentralization process. While it is true that it was required to consolidate regional government relations to be able to work, the project staff understands the need to increase the relationship at a central level because of the relevance it entails.

Combating Exploitive Child Labor Through Education - Colombia Learning Description The project staff and other parties feel that less than a year of activity is not enough to complete the withdrawal of NNAs from exploitive work, which means that the period should be extended.

Combating Exploitive Child Labor Through Education - Colombia Learning Description The space models, particularly the EpCs, have furnished the Ministry of National Education with evidence regarding the relevance of creating and supporting spaces that may act as supplementary educational activities, facilitating the healthy growth of children that may keep them away from exploitive child labor dangers. While supplementary activities are not inserted yet in the government educational system; there is a ministry resolution that favors their creation. This is an example of how the project’s experience has shown the benefits that the educational system may obtain by using educational methodologies to fight against child labor.

Combating Exploitive Child Labor Through Education - Colombia Learning Description In Cali, it was observed that the project keeps an excellent relationship and maintains coordination with SENA through Fe y Alegría. This relationship was established within a cooperation framework. It is necessary that SENA recognizes that this organization spares no effort in the observance of its mandates to achieve its goals. For example, it is a usual practice that the vocational learning beneficiaries attend the different SENA structures. However, in Cali, if there are difficulties with the transportation of the project beneficiaries, the SENA staff go to the neighborhoods, regardless of whether they are dangerous or perceived as such and tailor their service offer to the conditions of each community with which they work. The clear understanding of personnel regarding the nature of their mission and its fulfillment is very positive. Click here to access the report |

Combating Exploitive Child Labor Through Education - Colombia Learning Description The selection of the project beneficiaries is very good. The project has children that need to be withdrawn from recycling work, full day street vending, commercial sexual exploitation, and domestic work in other homes, particularly with female children. Furthermore, it works in the prevention of NNAs from work and the problems of forced displacement, extreme poverty, and excluded groups. These are not only activities included for the eradication of child labor and WFCL in the National Strategy, but also concerns key actors have expressed during the interviews, that the project has been recognized for recruiting populations difficult to access or work with, besides being recognized as the worst forms of work, which should be given priority, and they were reported as the best strengths of the project.

Combating Exploitive Child Labor Through Education - Colombia Learning Description A study was performed by the UNINORTE Foundation to verify the efficacy of the QL methodology in the beneficiaries’ academic performance and attitude.
