PAKISTAN: ILO launches four-year programme to eliminate child labour |
Islamabad, Pakistan - The International Labour Organisation (ILO) on Wednesday formally launched a four-year programme intended to support an ongoing programme being conducted by the government to help eliminate child labour in Pakistan.
We are primarily providing technical support in this campaign against child labour, because, like poverty, it has to be phased out step by step," Johannes Lokollo, the ILO country representative, told IRIN in the capital, Islamabad.
ILO�s International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) has been operational in Pakistan since 1994, with a steering committee headed by the labour ministry overseeing it.
