The formal signing of AsiaDHRRA’s latest project on “Harnessing CSO Capacities for Eliminating Child Labor (ECL) Action through Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships and Agri-entrepreneurship” took place at the Partnership Center, Loyola Heights, Quezon City on 23 January 2024. The ceremony was attended by AsiaDHRRA’s project management and financial team, focal program officers from COM, Kaanib, and PhilDHRRA-Mindanao, and representatives from the EU Delegation of the Philippines.
The initiative’s primary objectives are to develop and harness the capacities of rural people’s organizations (RPOs) and non-government organizations (NGOs) towards effective programs to eliminate child labor in agriculture and programmatic transition of young youth in child labor as future actors for rural transformation. The project is targeted to support four municipalities in Bukidnon, Davao del Norte, and Maguindanao del Norte, Philippines.
