 Understanding Children's Work, an inter-agency program initiated in December 2000 by the World Bank, ILO, andUNICEF, aims to address the crucial need for more and better data on child labor.
Based at the Innocenti Research Centre (IRC) in Florence, Italy, it is funded by the Governments of Finland, Norway and Sweden. UCW is guided by the Oslo Agenda for Action that laid out priorities for the worldwide fight against child labor. The UCW Project aims to enhance international cooperation and support broader efforts to develop effective and long term solutions to child labor by (i) taking stock of existing information on child labor; (ii) assessing policies to eliminate child labor & develop a methodology for assessing the impact of various policies; (iii) building capacity at the country level to track and assess child labor, analyze policies and programs relating to child labor, and by developing recommendations to support the elimination of child labor.
