Grant Description

This program will support the effective participation of Mexico in the International Labor Organizations International Program on the Elimination of Child Labor Program (ILO-IPEC).

This program will withdraw 500 children from exploitative child labor and prevent 5,000 additional at-risk children from entering child labor in the first place. Baseline surveys will be conducted during the initial implementation of the project.

As a country of transit for persons trafficked for exploitative labor from Central America, Mexicos participation in IPEC will also benefit other on-going USDOL-funded IPEC projects in Central America. - Through International Labour Organisation.
