Meaningful Efforts:

• Passed new laws to better protect children from forced labor, human trafficking, and sexual exploitation. 
• Increased cash transfers and social programs to help vulnerable children go to school. 

Challenges and Existing Gaps:

• Weak implementation and enforcement of laws due to governance issues and armed conflicts. 
• Labor inspectors are understaffed, under-resourced, and lack authority or don't inspect all areas, like informal construction sites.
