The objectives of the project were to strengthen the enabling environment for national action against the worst forms of child labour (referred to as WFCL) and to develop an area-based interventions model at local level to prevent or remove boys and girls from the WFCL. The direct action programmes promoting and supporting the area-based integrated
interventions model were implemented in Ulaanbaatar and selected fi ve aimags, namely the Bayankhongor, Dornogobi, Dornod, Uvurkhangai and Tuv aimags, targeting children engaged or at risk of working in informal mining, the urban informal sector (dumpsite, streets and marketplaces), agriculture and child victims of sexual exploitation.
