2.4 APPROACHES TO ENHANCE LIVELIHOODS, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

2.4.6. Strengthening IE with attention to youth and children

Recommendation: 

1) Ensure that IE projects include attention to the issues of children and youth. In particular,  the importance of their education instead of engaging them in child labour. The involvement of youth is highly associated with results success.
