Austria Aids East Africa To Rehabilitate Child Prostitutes
April 14, 2002 ·
Tanzania is one of four Anglophone countries picked by the ILO to implement its good practice interventions to combat the commercial sexual exploitation of children. Others include Kenya, Uganda and Zambia. The Austrian government is supporting the initiatives. Implementation of the project will reinforce the country’s efforts in rehabilitating children rescued from serious forms of child labour, including those who were involved in commercial agriculture, already benefiting under a “Time Bound Programme.” The programme calls for strategic multi-sectoral collaboration and action to eliminate the worst forms of child labour in Tanzania by 2010 in line with the government’s commitment to eradicate poverty and illiteracy by 2025.
