Eliminating the Worst Forms of Child Labour in Bangladesh: A Time-Bound Programme Approach (Preparatory Phase)

Under the preparatory phase of the Time-Bound Programme (TBP) funded by the donor consortium (DFID, NORAD and USAID), the ILO and its allied partners, UNICEF and the ADB are expected to provide technical assistance to the Government of Bangladesh in the areas of labour, education and poverty reduction in order to generate a framework for policy and direct action on the worst forms of child labour (WFCL). This framework, which is the outline for the TBP implementation phase, will be drawn through two processes: creation of an in-depth knowledge base to improve understanding of the nature and scope of the WFCL, particularly how the WFCL fit within the larger political, economic and social context, and extensive and systematic consultations with a view to building a wide consensus, commitment and alliances among the full range of child labour stakeholders to address the WFCL problem. The preparatory phase of the TBP started in March 2004.
