Lesson-110809-7

Multisectoral convening was found effective in validating assessments’ findings and guided the development of laws, policies, local ordinances, and key tools, such as the project's small and medium enterprise child labor toolkit. Stakeholders appreciated this approach and observed that it has contributed to strengthening links among the tripartite and participating service delivery nongovernmental organizations. Some stakeholders expressed that without these convenings, they would not have been aware of one another’s existence nor known how to work together and strengthen their ability to refer victims to appropriate service providers. While some stakeholders reported they have not been sufficiently engaged, the overall multisectoral or area-wide approach has been appreciated by most stakeholders.
