 Understanding
Children's Work, an inter-agency program initiated
in December 2000 by the World Bank, ILO, andUNICEF,
aims to address the crucial need for more and better
data on child labor.
Based
at the Innocenti Research Centre (IRC) in Florence,
Italy, it is funded by the Governments of Finland,
Norway and Sweden. UCW is guided by the Oslo Agenda
for Action that laid out priorities for the worldwide
fight against child labor.
The
UCW Project aims to enhance international cooperation
and support broader efforts to develop effective and
long term solutions to child labor by (i) taking stock
of existing information on child labor; (ii) assessing
policies to eliminate child labor & develop a
methodology for assessing the impact of various policies;
(iii) building capacity at the country level to track
and assess child labor, analyze policies and programs
relating to child labor, and by developing recommendations
to support the elimination of child labor.
