2011

“Creating HOPE for Children Working in Hazardous Conditions” project was implemented by Plan Nepal with funding support from Japan National Office (JNO) in three districts, namely, Morang, Sunsari, and Makwanpur, with the goal to contribute in preventing and protecting working children from violence, abuse, and exploitation; and to create a safe working environment; free from the worst forms of child labor in project districts. This mid-term evaluation survey aimed to evaluate the progress towards achieving the project goals. The study assesses the alignment of project implementation with the strategies; awareness among children, families, concerned stakeholders, and employers about the promotion and protection of the rights of working children; capacity development of the duty bearers, especially municipalities and concerned government line agencies, to monitor and protect at-risk children in their working areas.
