Abstract

The purpose of the National Policy and Action Plan (NAP) is to provide, for the first time, a comprehensive framework that: identifies and prioritises goals and provides operational guidance concerning the implementation of relevant interventions to reduce and eliminate the worst forms of child labour, including child trafficking, in PNG. In terms of process, it aims to mainstream and integrate considerations relating to child labour and the worst forms of child labour across relevant government departments and agencies, at senior levels, and provide for systematic multi-stakeholder involvement including NGOs and local community representatives. It also provides for specific actions and outputs relating to the prevention of the worst forms of child labour and protection of children actually or potentially involved.
