Meaningful Efforts:

• Improved coordination mechanisms that protect children from abuse and exploitation.
• Trained law enforcement personnel to combat child labor and child trafficking.
• Established new action plans to protect orphans and ensure an education for children with disabilities.

Challenges and Existing Gaps:

• Laws and practices that limit the ability to conduct unannounced labor inspections in all sectors where child labor exists.
• Gaps in the labor laws that do not afford protections to children in informal employment.
• Ethnic minorities and other disadvantaged children face barriers to access education.
