EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The overall purpose of this mid-term evaluation was to assess the extent to which the project Combating Worst Forms of Child Labour Project in 4 Districts of Punjab has started bringing about anticipated changes. First PC-I was approved with cost of Rs. 180.832 Million approved but later PC-1 was revised for deduction of main micro finance component and revised cost was Rs. 159.544 million. This report is aimed to evaluate the project’s objectives/targets as per verifiable indicators, and to prepare recommendations for further improvements in the project implementation in order to achieve desired outcomes and have sustainable impacts. The Government of Punjab in the Labour and Human Resource Department based on its interactions with stakeholders a comprehensive review of the existing literature on child labour and its worst forms in Pakistan and globally as well as in light of the experience of ILO and other organizations, intended to undertake a 05 year project (2011-2016) revised (21st November, 2016 – 20th November, 2017) for elimination of worst forms of child labour in 04 districts of Punjab, namely Chakwaal, Jhelum, Jhang and Layyah, as a pilot project potentially replicable throughout the province. The evaluation methodology adopted was desk literature review, field visit of project districts, statistical analysis of quantitative data and review of qualitative data by the evaluation team. It was observed that resources were underestimated and set targets set was on lower side in PC1 design, i.e. targeted number of children in NFE & ALCS total was 4000 whereas even 6 month prior to completion of project planned gestation more than 8000 children were passed out/transferred to main stream. Project was executed with 4 different implementing partners (NGOs) in each district so to get optimum results there should be more effective and define monitoring framework. Overall performance of the project is satisfactory in comparison with targets set in PC-I. But researches, public awareness, social media campaigns and up-to-date management information system (MIS) should be key areas of focus till end of the project.

INTRODUCTION
1.1
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHILD LABOUR AND WORST FORMS OF CHILD
LABOUR Considerable differences exist between the many kinds of work children do. Some are difficult and demanding, others are more hazardous and even morally reprehensible. Children carry out a very wide range of tasks and activities when they work. 1.1.1 Defining Child Labour Not all work done by children should be classified as child labour that is to be targeted for elimination. Children’s or adolescents’ participation in work that does not affect their health and personal development or interfere with their schooling is generally regarded as being something positive. This includes activities such as helping their parents around the home, assisting in a family business or earning pocket money outside school hours and during school holidays. These kinds of activities contribute to children’s development and to the welfare of their families; they provide them with skills and experience, and help to prepare them to be productive members of society during their adult life. The term “child labour” is often defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development. It refers to work that:
is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to children; and
interferes with their schooling by:
depriving them of the opportunity to attend school;
obliging them to leave school prematurely; or
Requiring them to attempt to combine school attendance with excessively long and heavy work.
In its most extreme forms, child labour involves children being enslaved, separated from their families, exposed to serious hazards and illnesses and/or left to fend for themselves on the streets of large cities – often at a very early age. Whether or not particular forms of “work” can be called “child labour” depends on the child’s age, the type and hours of work performed, the conditions under which it is performed and the objectives pursued by individual countries. The answer varies from country to country, as well as among sectors within countries. 8|Page
1.1.2 The Worst Forms of Child Labour Whilst child labour takes many different forms, a priority is to eliminate without delay the worst forms of child labour as defined by Article 3 of ILO Convention No. 182(Annexure 01) a) all forms of slavery or practices similar to slavery, such as the sale and trafficking of children, debt bondage and serfdom and forced or compulsory labour, including forced or compulsory recruitment of children for use in armed conflict; b) the use, procuring or offering of a child for prostitution, for the production of pornography or for pornographic performances; c) the use, procuring or offering of a child for illicit activities, in particular for the production and trafficking of drugs as defined in the relevant international treaties; d) Work which, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried out, is likely to harm the health, safety or morals of children. e) Labour that jeopardizes the physical, mental or moral well-being of a child, either because of its nature or because of the conditions in which it is carried out, is known as “hazardous work�.

Project Details
Child labour is as old as mankind. In the second half of the 20th century, an international consensus developed on the elimination of the practice based upon the desire to protect children and favour their mental and cognitive development. Echoing this consensus, in 1973, the International Labour Organization (ILO) designed a convention establishing at ďŹ fteen years the minimum age for admission to employment (Convention C138). The Convention concerning the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour, known in short as the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, was adopted by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1999 as ILO Convention No 182. It is one of 8 ILO fundamental conventions. By ratifying this Convention No. 182, a country commits itself to taking immediate action to prohibit and eliminate the worst forms of child labour. The Convention is enjoying the fastest pace of ratifications in the ILO's history since 1919. The Labour and Human Resource Department, Punjab is a partner of ILO-IPEC and EC in the project titled as Combating Abusive Child Labour-II (CACL-II). This project was being implemented in two districts of Pakistan, namely Sahiwal in Punjab and Sukkur in Sindh. Project was funded by the European Community (EC), with contributions from ILO and the Government of Pakistan. The Project was focused on combating worst forms of child labour by building institutional and technical capacity of the government at federal, provincial and district levels through concerted actions by all stakeholders. The Project was implementing a District-based Approach to eliminate Worst Forms of Child Labour (WFCL) in two pilot districts selected by the government. The district approach aims to inter-link the relevant district government departments for strengthening project interventions, leveraging of resources, enhancing the project impact and most importantly, establishing a child labour monitoring system at the district level. The present project aims was to replicate the interventions of CACL-II project and will continue to benefit from the experience of this project. In fact the target districts for this have been selected by the Provincial Coordination Committee on Child Labour (PCC) involving all key stakeholders from government and non-government sectors. This Committee is headed by the Secretary Labour and Human Resource Department for guidance and support to all initiatives in the province for elimination of child labour. The PCC will also continue to provide backup and support to the current project. ILO will also be asked to provide technical support for training the key functionaries from target districts and 10 | P a g e
carrying out baseline surveys for the prevalence and distribution of worst and hazardous forms of child labour in target districts. The ILO estimates that of the world’s 215 million child labourers, 115 million are involved in hazardous work, including 41 million girls and 74 million boys; 53 million are aged 5-14, and 62 million are aged 1517. One concern is that the number of child labourers engaged in hazardous work has been increasing among the 15-17 age groups. The highest concentration of hazardous child labour is in agriculture (59%) followed by 30% in services (e.g. domestic work, street-based work) and 11% in industry (e.g. small workshops, mining, construction). The Government of Punjab in the Labour and Human Resource Department intends to undertake a 5 year project (2011-2016) revised (21st November, 2016 – 20th November, 2017) for elimination of worst forms of child labour in 4 districts of Punjab, namely Chakwaal, Jhelum, Jhang and Layyah, as a pilot project potentially replicable throughout the province. The impact of child labour on the health and development of a child depends on factors related to the type of work the child is engaged in, the conditions of that work, employer treatment, hours of work, the opportunity to attend school and child’s own vulnerability. Working children may suffer from fatigue, muscular/skeletal disorders, cuts, fractures, burns, malnutrition, poisoning, infectious disease, psychological harm, and even death, depending on the type of work they do. Children often join hazardous labour because of lack of awareness on the risks involved. Also, the opportunities for choosing safer forms of work are limited. Sometimes, employers persuade children to undertake jobs that adults refuse to do either because of low wages offered or awareness of health hazards involved in the work. Certain jobs are hazardous for children simply because they do not either have the dexterity of adult workers or a blatant lack of awareness on the use of safety devices (or their non-availability). Children are therefore at a greater risk from unsafe working conditions than adults are. Hazardous work can have immediate and long-term impacts on children. These may include injury (e.g. a wound from a blade), disability (e.g. crushed limb from a machine) and even death (e.g. as a result of pesticide poisoning). Children and adolescents are specifically vulnerable to the effects of hazardous work because they are still developing physically and mentally. Exposure of children to dangerous chemicals or physical stress can also harm their proper and healthy development. Some of the physical or psychological impacts of hazardous work may not be obvious immediately, but only begin to appear at a later stage in their lives.

Social
benefits
with The social benefits of the project are summarized below.
indicators
The project will contribute in a significant manner to eliminate Child Labour in the target districts. The project interventions are potentially replicable and can be subsequently expanded to other districts and sectors.
The project aims at social and political empowering of families and children engaged in Child Labour. The empowerment will make them more useful members of the society.
The project will impart primary education to approximately 2000 children of school going age presently engaged or vulnerable to child labour, through non-formal schools. This will contribute to improve literacy rates in the four districts.
The project also aims to provide life skills and vocational training to adolescents and member of families of target children. This will result in improvement on human development indicators, earning potential and overall availability of useful skills in the four districts.
Emphasis on health and safety and establishment of model workplaces aims to promote better health, work environment and productivity at the workplaces. This may help improve the businesses and provide a model for child labour free production and service delivery.
Project interventions will help Pakistan to comply with its commitments and obligations under international conventions.
Employment generation The project does not generate employment as such, except the few (direct and indirect)
contractual positions in the PMU-WFCL and the teachers and service providers who will be outsourced some of the work. Therefore, effect on employment generation is negligible.
Environmental impact
No positive or negative environmental impact. However, there are significant positive impacts on the social environment.

PROJECT OBJECTIVE AND INTERVENTIONS
The Project is focused on combating worst forms of child labour by building institutional and technical capacity of the government at provincial and district levels through concerted actions by all stakeholders. The Project is implementing a District-based Approach to eliminate Worst Forms of Child Labour (WFCL) in four districts selected by the government. The district approach aims to inter-link the relevant district government departments for strengthening project interventions, leveraging of resources, enhancing the project impact and most importantly, establishing a child labour monitoring system at the district level. In fact the target districts for this have been selected by the Provincial Coordination Committee on Child Labour (PCC) involving all key stakeholders from government and nongovernment sectors. This Committee is headed by the Secretary Labour and Human Resource Department for guidance and support to all initiatives in the province for elimination of child labour. The PCC also continued to provide backup and support to the current project. ILO has also been asked to provide technical support for training the key functionaries from target districts and carrying out baseline surveys for the prevalence and distribution of worst and hazardous forms of child labour in target districts. The project proposes a holistic strategy and consists of a set of administrative arrangements and direct interventions.
Recruitment of professional staff to oversee the implementation arrangements of Project.
Establishment of District Coordination Committees (DCCs) in the target districts to coordinate the project interventions in the respective districts.
Baseline and/or Rapid Assessment Survey to assess the geographic and sectoral dimensions of child labour in the respective districts.

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS (SWOT) ANALYSIS
Strengths
The WFCL project philosophy is to eliminate the child labour and also enhance the public private partner’s ship concept in the communities. Establishment of 120 NFECs& Enrolled the above 4000 targets children in Non- Formal Education centers based on Rapid Assessment survey Non-Formal Curriculum as per approved Govt. of Punjab Employment and teacher training opportunities especially for females of remote areas Possible link with higher education Flexible time table of education /Skill Free of cost education to the enrolled children Provision of PEC exam to the enrolled learners Development of Adult literacy Cum Skill Training Centers Learner chooses or skill of interest through Training Need Assessment (TNA) Theoretical & Practical Courses/Curriculum as per approved District Industrial Home (SANAT ZAR) Provision of Tools kits to the Passed Graduate Establishment of model work places to raise awareness on occupational, safety health Equal opportunity of learning and employment of females skill learners
Opportunities
Active Volunteer parents committees
Nationally recognize Certificate of LSTC Graduate signatory by District Government official.
Many target children siblings were join the NFECs/LSTC. District Coordination Committee constituted headed by DCO and paly vital role to the intervention of the project activities.
Establishment of Model Work Places to eliminate the hazardous condition at un-healthy working

Weaknesses
Short training time for Skill Training
Low wages to the teachers (PKR 4000-5000) effects quality
Lack of employment and business opportunities and in target districts
Reluctance of employer towards change
Limited learning tools and material as per Implementing partners financial proposal/bid
Lack of education opportunity to link up with the higher education
Threats
Lesser job opportunities

MODEL WORK PLACES(OSH) VISITS
Under the WFCL Project Occupational, Safety & Health had been an emerging thematic area although its target had been (20 model work places, 05 each district) only. Total 4 model workplaces visited in each district and found satisfactory environment in terms of occupational, safety & health for adolescent workers. Some glimpses of visited model work places are in Annexure 06

OBSERVATIONS
Resources were underestimated and set targets very low in PC1 design, i.e. number of children in NFE & LSTCs total 4000 whereas even 6 month prior to finishing of project about 8428 children passed out/transferred to main stream
Currently three main positions (BPS-17) of professional project staff are filled with additional charge and one (BPS-16) is vacant (Annexure 03) , dedicated Human Resource and rotation effected project continuity and implementation
It was observed that during project design and development it had been mentioned to conduct “baseline survey/ research assessment” through the same organizations who were hired for execution of the project interventions
It was also observed that findings of “baseline survey/ research assessment” in all respective districts. But, neither it was disseminated through print/electronic nor on official web portal
WFCL website is neither being updated frequently and nor linked with any other resource sites
No partnership strengthened among project management unit, other line departments (education, health) and implementing partners on the basis of stakeholders analysis as per C-2 of revised PC-1
No satisfactory evidence of health screening of children verifiable indicator (Annexure G-2, Component C 2 of Revised PC-I).
District Coordination Committees on Child Labour (DCC-CL) had been established and notifications issued but after implementation of new Local Government Ordinance new notification yet to be issued for effective monitoring and evaluation of project interventions
As no database had been developed so traceability and follow up of children enrolled/pass out (both at NFE/LSTC) was not uniform in all four district/ implementing partner
Research, publications and mass awareness is partially achieved but not reported
Reporting and documentation of project interventions, inputs, processes, outputs, outcomes and lesson learned is limited and need improvement by developing and implementing project software as well as in hard
Public outreach, mass awareness efforts through print, electronic and social media was not enough effective and unable to raise awareness on elimination of worst form of child labour at community level
39 | P a g e
ď&#x201A;ˇ
WFCL Management Information System (MIS)/Database of the project are neither updated nor much resourceful. Even no formats developed for reporting and documentation (in soft format) of project interventions, inputs, processes, outputs and outcomes and on official web portals.
40 | P a g e
5 RECOMMENDATIONS
There should be more effective and define internal monitoring framework and can get help from new technologies e.g. monitoring can be android base & link up with GIS system for NFE & LSTCs Centers
Responsibilities/Terms of References of District coordination Committees should be reviewed and updated after amended Local Government Ordinance implemented in Punjab
It is seriously recommended to consider and avoid “conflict of interest” during designing and developing implementation strategy of project interventions in PC-I
Report of baseline survey/ research assessment of respective districts should be copy right by Directorate General Labour Welfare, published and uploaded on the official web portals of Department of Labour & Human Resources and WFCL as well as of implementing partners
PMU-WFCL must sign MOUs with other departments, civil society organizations and stakeholders for strengthening district based child monitoring mechanism
After PAIMAN case in Chakwal, there is a serious need to review the whole process of outsourcing project interventions and selection of implementing partners. There should be maintained a list of reserved organizations in the case the selected organization gets dysfunctional.
