INTRODUCTION
Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda are at an advanced stage in finalising their Decent Work Country Programmes. In all the countries addressing child labour and youth employment has been identified as priorities by ILO tripartite constituents. The IPEC and YEF are two programmes taking a lead in responding to constituents needs.

The International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC), a programme of the International Labour Organization, is operational in over 80 countries worldwide and supported by more than 20 donors. Its objective is the effective abolition of child labour, assisting member States in designing and implementing policies and programmes to prevent and eliminate child labour, including a focus on the elimination of the worst forms of child labour as a matter of urgency. IPEC works to enhance the awareness of member States, workers' and employers' organizations, the international community and a wide range of actors about the problem of child labour. It assists countries in implementing international labour standards on child labour and in taking the necessary comprehensive and integrated measures for sustained and effective action.

IPEC is implemented through national, subregional and regional and global programmes, which include country-based, regional, and global technical cooperation projects. IPEC provides assistance through technical advisory services to ILO constituents; direct action for the withdrawal, prevention and protection of child labourers; institution and capacity building; policy and legal reform; training; advocacy; development of tools and methodologies; research and statistical surveys; and regular sharing of good practice and collection and dissemination of information. It promotes a worldwide movement to advocate for and provide resources to support national action and works through various interagency partnerships and task forces.
