RICHES Toolkit, Phase 1: Linkages Guide

Enable WEE, child protection, and other Actors to collaboratively provide participants a comprehensive, holistic package of services that will increase their ability to address issues of harmful work for children (child labor) and adults, and to strengthen their livelihoods.

Phase 1 refers only to the Emergency and External Support Contact List within the Linkages Guide. The remainder of the guide is designed for Phase 3.

Primary Audience: Management-level staff that lead strategy, program development, and oversight for Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) Actors. WEE Actors are entities or individuals that support the development or expansion of women’s businesses, provide livelihood or financial services, and/or support women (globally) in efforts to increase their access to economic opportunities, especially those living in developing economies.

Goal: Enable WEE, child protection, and other actors to collaboratively provide participants with a comprehensive, holistic package of services that will increase their ability to address issues of harmful work for children and adults and strengthen their livelihoods.

Objectives: Through the use of this guide, WEE Actor management-level staff will have:

• Identified emergency and external support service providers that can provide immediate or long-term child protection support to participants, children,and other workers that WEE Actors cannot provide.
• Assessed organizational capacity to meet participant needs.
• Identified appropriate linkages with other internal departments or external service providers.
• Formalized partnership agreements.
