Workshop Report: Regional Training on Livelihoods and Child Labour

The ILO project “Combating child labour through skills and livelihoods training for older children” is implementing training workshops in each of the project countries through a number of activities which will develop capacity of local partners. To this end, a new resource manual on skills and livelihoods training for older children has recently been produced. On the basis of this manual, a four-day regional training was offered in Amman, Jordan, to participants from several Arab countries, from 8 to 11 June of 2015.

The main objectives of the Workshop were to:

(a) improve the quality of skills training being provided by project partners and other organisations, and
(b) help in developing strategic links on the issue of skills and livelihoods training for older children.

The expected result was to determine clear recommendations for existing livelihoods programmes on how to contribute to the elimination of child labour and the achievement of decent work for youth.
