Combating Child Labor Through Education

The program will complement and expand upon existing activities to improve education in select rural and peri-urban communities, predominantly in the Copperbelt, Eastern, Lusaka, Southern and Western Provinces, to prevent childrens migration to urban areas and engagement in the worst forms of child labor.

The education program will work towards reducing child labor in Zambia through: 1) improved community awareness-raising efforts on the importance of education for children engaged in or at-risk of the worst forms of child labor; 2) strengthened quality of educational opportunities in government and alternative schools; 3) increased ministerial and NGO capacity and inter-institutional coordination; and 4) improved resource mobilization. - Through American Institutes for Research.
