Glocal Unified Assistance and Resources for Development, Inspiration and Academic Navigation (Guardian) ProjectBuilding upon previous impact evaluation research on school dropout and human trafficking, the GUARDIAN project aims to expand the pool of rigorous evidence on what works to combat child labor. The project acronym combines several important aspects of the project’s approach. The word “glocal”—which means to combine the global and the local—comes from the project’s dual emphasis on taking rigorous evidence from around the globe and applying it in a context-sensitive manner with local partners. The acronym also emphasizes the purpose of the project’s current research: to directly inform efforts to assist and inspire children in Guatemala to stay in school and avoid child labor, including child trafficking. |
