• Carrying out a situational analysis to find out about child labour problems in a country.
• Assisting with developing and implementing national policies on child labour problems.
• Strengthening existing organizations and setting up institutional mechanisms.
• Creating awareness on the problem nationwide, in communities and workplaces.
• Promoting the development and application of protective legislation.
• Supporting direct action with (potential) child workers for demonstration purposes, including Time-bound Programmes to address Worst Forms of Child Labour.
• Replicating and expanding successful projects into the programmes of partners.
• Mainstreaming child labour issues into socio-economic policies, programmes and budgets.
