BACKGROUND
Children1 comprise one third of the world population and make up more than half of the population in developing countries. They form a unique constituency with particular sets of needs and rights that are recognised as a self-standing set of concerns. More than 200 million children in the world are involved in child labour, doing work that is damaging to their mental, physical and emotional development; over 120 million are engaged in worst forms of child labour. Children work because their survival and that of their families depend on it. Child labour persists even where it has been declared illegal, and is frequently surrounded by a wall of silence, indifference, and apathy. Too many children are engaged in the worst forms of child labour, including trafficking, armed conflict, slavery, sexual exploitation and hazardous work. Girls and boys may face higher risks depending on certain forms of hazardous and/or exploitative work. The effective abolition of child labour is one of the most urgent challenges of our time.

The present call for proposals both reflects and contributes to the European Commission's (EC) commitments to fight child labour.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME AND PRIORITY ISSUES FOR 2010
The thematic Programme 'Investing in People' pursues a broad approach to development and poverty reduction, with the general aim of improving human and social development levels in partner countries in accordance with the United Nations Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). It is based on Article 12 of the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI)8, and is further defined in the Strategy Paper for the Thematic Programme 2007-2013. Part of the fourth theme – "Other aspects of human and social development" is dedicated to addressing inequalities and promoting children's rights.
