Introduction

The ILO seeks to recruit a Chief Technical Advisor (CTA) at the P5 level to manage the new Development Cooperation (DC) project, Asia Regional Child Labour Programme , with a focus on the elimination of child labour in Asia. The project, which is funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID), has a budget of about USD 10 million, and will be implemented over a period of 48 months. It will support 6 countries in Asia to eliminate child labour under the IPEC+ Flagship Programme: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Myanmar and Pakistan, and it will conduct Research on child labour in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. The programme will complement other ILO projects in the area of child labour elimination in respective countries. The ILO programme is part of an overall DFID regional programme on child labour elimination in Asia, which is implemented by ILO, UNICEF and a coalition of NGOs led by the Institute for Development Studies (IDS).

The project falls under the Sustainable Development Goals, SDG 8, target 8.7. This programme will spearhead ILO s and DFID s response to stepping up action on child labour in Asia.

The ILO Asia Regional Programme on Child Labour will be used to support ILO/IPEC + activities in each of the six priority countries for this programme. It will support Child Labour elimination action plans for each of these countries. These include improving data collection and monitoring mechanisms, including support for national and provincial child labour surveys; working with government to strengthen policies and law enforcement mechanisms, such as strengthening policies to address the worst forms of child labour; capacity building and technical assistance of key agencies on implementing national action plans on worst forms of child labour; and awareness raising campaigns with communities on child labour. DFID County Offices in these countries will work closely with the ILO Country Offices in identifying priorities for action and in monitoring delivery.

In addition, the project will support a Research component on child labour elimination, which will support ILO s work in strengthening the capacity of government in improving the collection of data and evidence on child labour and understanding the nature and prevalence of the worst forms of child labour in Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. It will support mainly the capacity of statistics offices in gathering and analysing child labour data, and in undertaking specific surveys addressing the worst forms of child labour in specific sectors.
