Program Summary

The Alternatives to Combat Child Labor through Education and Sustainable Services in the Middle East and North Africa (ACCESS-MENA) addressed children-at-risk and children-at-work, and the need for innovative approaches in using education to combat the plight of child labor. Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, the $8.4 million project was managed by the Cooperative Housing Foundation in association with AMIDEAST, the Charitable Society for Social Welfare (Yemen), the Rene Moawad Foundation (Lebanon), and Kidz-on-line. AMIDEAST was responsible for the region-wide component that employs educational and informational tools to empower regional stakeholders to contribute to reducing child labor.

Main Goals

• Disseminate knowledge about child labor and the experience of partners in the field and sharing of success stories that convey the message that something can be done
