Action Plan to Be Taken

3Discussion on the challenges and gaps between phrase I and phrase II of CAMFEBA to recontextualize it within the RGC twin goals

(Please find it in the attachment of the draft of CAMFEBA action plan)

4Discussion on expectation on the sensitization pacage to be developed in order to be desiminated to the employer communities, espcially to the garment factory owner:

Mr. Som Chamnan showed a set of 3 guide books which he brought here from ILO Genever and these guides talks about: guide 1 “Introducing to the issue of child labour”, guide 2 “How employers can eliminate child labour”, and guide 3 “The role of employers’ organizations in combating child labour” – which you can find it in the ISBN: 9789221198208 (to search for these guides in the webside). He then said : if we translete these guides for publishing and distributing to the employers it would be good as many important issues related to child labour have been mentioned in the guide but in doing so it would cost a lot of money.

Ms. Sou Moniveark added that we should select only the special parts of this booklets and combine them into one guide for printing so that would fit with the Cambodia Child Labour context. She continued that or we should develop as a short inspiering video clip about 3 to 5 minutes only talking about Child Labour in Cambodia and show at the begining or at the end any workshops or any important events in order to sensitize and encourage the employers’ initiative to get involved in combating child labour in their places or else where.

Mr. Theng Chhorvirith said it is a very good and creative idea, this would also cut down the cost of expenditure as well. However, more fund was still needed to support this activities.

5Discuss on the Action Plan on the next meeting:

Due to the shortage of members in today meeting, Mr. Som Chamnan suggested to discuss about the development of the CAMFEBA Action Plan of the Child Labour Eliminaton Project Phrase II on next meeting since some members has no longer be a member of this DG. He then asked Ms. Sok Dalis,

Project Coordinator on Child Labour Project of CAMFEBA to re-informe to DG to make sure that they still want to be the DG of CAMFEBA and should also invite CAMFEBA members who voluntee to be the DG to fullfil the place.
