Our international grants support projects to combat some of the most abusive labor practices, including the use of child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking in global supply chains. ILAB-funded projects also promote trade partners’ compliance with the labor requirements of U.S. trade agreements and preference programs – helping to ensure a fair global playing field for workers in the United States and around the world.

Impact Evaluations: Randomized Control Trial Impact Evaluations of National Social Protection Programs (Cash Transfer Programs) in Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, and Ghana09/30/2014 - 06/01/2023 Our impact evaluation projects use rigorous quantitative techniques to evaluate the impact of interventions on reducing child labor, forced labor and human trafficking—part of a broader ILAB effort to build rigorous evidence on what works to secure and protect the rights of children and adults. Such evaluations support our partner governments’ evidence-based policymaking efforts and also help identify proven strategies to inform ILAB’s future investments in global programs to combat child labor and forced labor. |
