Abstract
This report is the mid-term implementation report of the International Labour Organization's International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) for the biennium 2006-07. Part I reviews the current state of knowledge on child labour and summarizes IPEC's response to the problem and its strategies to assist ILO member States to prevent and eliminate it. It also highlights the Programme's many partnerships, assesses the progress being made towards meeting the ILO's Programme and Budget target for child labour, and reviews trends in IPEC's technical cooperation, advisory services and programme management. Part II focuses on three selected themes of current interest for IPEC's work.
