Secondly, regarding staff capacity building it seems important to ensure a common knowledge base for all actors involved in the front-line of fight against child labor especially the 164 focal points and ensure comprehensive geographic coverage of the country's 24 governorates. At the beginning of the project’s activities, the novelty of the child labor topic and the plurality of actors involved made it necessary to "upgrade" stakeholders’ knowledge on a larger scale than originally planned. The project team thus made the choice to broaden the training activities starting in March 2018 – particularly for the benefit of the 164 focal points at the local level. This was highly appreciated by the stakeholders, most of whom had little or no knowledge of child labor, or the regulatory aspects and accompanying practices relating thereto. The restructuring of activities in the first year of the project seems to have been a sound choice that enhances the effectiveness of future activities and the impact of the project.
