RICHES Toolkit, Phase 2: Design Workshop

Develop solutions to address the potential negative consequences that occur with WEE initiatives, including harmful work for children (child labor) and adults.

Primary Audience: Frontline-level staff and management-level staff that design or implement programs or services 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. Management-level staff include those who lead strategy, program development, and oversight. Frontline-level staff include those who work directly with women to help achieve WEE objectives.

Goal: Develop solutions to address the potential negative consequences that occur with WEE initiatives, including harmful work for children (child labor) and adults.

Objectives

Through the use of this guide, WEE Actors will be equipped to create programs that will:

• Translate market research into action by determining adjustments to products, services, or policies.

• Assist WEE Actors with defining and understanding key terms related to harmful work for children and adults.

• Assist WEE Actors in developing tools that integrate harmful work for children and adults and the promotion of safe and healthy working conditions into programming, products, policies, and/or services.
