5. Recommendations by respondents There is a need for sustainable interventions that address the root causes of child labour by supporting families; raising awareness about child labour and education laws and the rationale behind them; and improving the quality, access and flexibility of formal and non-formal education. Many current programmes do not tackle the root causes of child labour, as a result children who have been rehabilitated from exploitative situations eventually end up back on the streets. 370 There is also a need to develop multifaceted interventions; successful child labour interventions remove a child from work and provide for their education while simultaneously supporting their family. 371 The quality of schools needs to be improved and secondary education needs to be made more accessible. 372 The government needs to focus on social services. Community development, social protection, education, security and health care need to be targeted by the government. 373 Access to social services needs to be improved, especially in rural areas. 374 There is a lack of political will to tackle child labour and hence a need to enhance interest in children’s affairs at the district as well as national level. 375 Donor organizations should support government initiatives and advocate for more political will on child labour issues. 376 There is a need to harmonize laws, as there is a discrepancy in the minimum working age between the constitution, at 16 years, and the child labour policy, which sets the minimum working age at 18 years. 377 Political leaders at the district level need to be sensitized to child labour issues. Lobbying for more financial support and technical assistance is necessary at a higher level. Budget allocation to government departments dealing with children should be increased and more labour officers and a separate children’s department are needed. 378 Communities need to be made more aware of child labour and education policies so that they can be mobilized to assist with child protection and monitor school attendance. 379 It is important to strengthen existing structures within communities and capacity within the government. There is a lack of awareness about laws concerning children which is hindering the effective implementation of these laws. 380 The treatment of children is still often considered a private family matter where outsiders have no say. 381 Interventions should also focus on raising awareness and shifting people’s attitu<strong>des</strong> in order to be sustainable and to bring about real change. The government’s heavy dependence on donors and project time-frames is problematic and it is therefore important to <strong>des</strong>ign sustainable programmes, thus ensuring that their impact remains after the donor has moved on. 382 A greater transparency within NGOs and information sharing among NGOs are required; information sharing between NGOs and the government also needs enhancing. There are many NGOs focusing on health and 370 Anslem Wandega (ANPPCAN) 371 Opio Ouma (Jinja District Local Government) 372 Godfrey Kiberu (Ministry of Gender, Labour, and Social Development) 373 Opio Ouma (Jinja District Local Government) 374 Adrine Namara (District Labour Officer, Kampala City Council) 375 Anslem Wandega (ANPPCAN) 376 Godfrey Kiberu (Ministry of Gender, Labour, and Social Development); Angella Baligenya (Community Development Officer, Jinja Central Division) 377 Anslem Wandega (ANPPCAN); Ibrahim Kibalama and Jacqueline Nassaka (Uganda Youth Development Link); Adrine Namara (District Labour Officer, Kampala City Council) 378 Godfrey Kiberu (Ministry of Gender, Labour, and Social Development); Angella Baligenya (Community Development Officer, Jinja Central Division); Adrine Namara (District Labour Officer, Kampala City Council)) 379 Adrine Namara (District Labour Officer, Kampala City Council) 380 Group interview CRO, JINNET, ADSN 381 Angella Baligenya (Community Development Officer, Jinja Central Division) 382 Adrine Namara (District Labour Officer, Kampala City Council) 108
education in Uganda, but not enough acting on behalf of child protection. 383 The focus of interventions and policies is often on orphans; more attention needs to be paid to child labour in general and to child domestic labour in particular. 384 NGOs are under-represented in rural areas. 385 Universal Primary Education (UPE) is criticized for not being an appropriate programme for all children. Some children would benefit more from skills or vocational training than formal education. 386 Orphans, children who have to work for their survival and children who head a household are not always able to access the benefits of UPE. Even though the instalment of free universal primary education has reduced child labour rates, there is a need for more flexibility in education programmes in order to reach the most vulnerable children. 387 6.
