Quang Nam is one of the five localities in Vietnam that has benefited from ILO-backed programme which was carried out in the province’s five communes from July 2011 to September 2013.
The programme helped increase capacity, step up communication, provide facilities and vocational training, improve healthcare service, and push up the development of household economy.
Nguyen Thuy, Deputy Director of the Quang Nam provincial Department for Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, said the programme contributed to raising public awareness of child labour, benefiting nearly 1,000 child workers in target localities.
Maria Luisa Rodriguez Campos, the programme’s chief advisor, said based on hands-on experience from the programme, experts will make recommendations to local authorities, helping relevant agencies to work out an action plan to resolve the problem in a sustainable manner.
