This training manual was developed within the framework of the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) "Together Against  Child  Labor  in Tunisia" (PROTECTE) project. The  objective  of  this  project  is  to  provide  support  to  the  Tunisian Government  and  key  stakeholders  in  the  implementation  of the  National  Action Plan to Combat Child Labor(PAN-TN). This manual is a technical training tool intended for field workers (labor inspectors, medical labor inspectors,  social  workers, child  protection  officers,  judicial  police officers, social partners  and civil society) working with children at risk of and/or engaged in child labor. This manual should enable field actors to understand the key concepts, normative framework and good practices related to child labor; appreciate the importance of taking child labor into consideration in their areas of work; recognize their role in protecting children from exploitation; and transform the knowledge gained from the training into concrete measures that reduce the prevalence of child labor.
