Italian Social Partners Initiative (ISPI) |
The Italian Social Partners' Initiative Project (ISPI) was designed to provide complementary social
assistance to ex-working children and their families within the framework of the BGMEA/ILO/UNICEF
project. The project targeted ex-working children (below 14 years of age) withdrawn from garment
industries and their adult family members, female members in particular.
The main activities of the project included:
- Skills training for wages/self-employment of ex-working children;
- Enterprise development and micro finance services for adult
family members to enhance their family
income in order to eliminate child labour;
- Awareness training in occupational safety, health, and workers' rights for ex-working children.
The project started its activities in December 1999 and continued until August 2004.
