- Risk

The

project realization risky factor is the slow pace of community change of
attitude about Children’s rights as human rights.
Another
risky factor is that some forms of Child Labour do not have legal
provisions and this is frustrating for someone after knowing her/his
rights only to find its not covered by law. It should however be noted that
changing attitudes is a process and preventing Child Labour requires a
multi-sectorial approach by different partners.

Sustainability
Sustainability
The
training of Children on their legal rights is an assured way for Children to
campaign against Child Rights violence and report cases of Child Rights
violence having known their rights. The existence of Children’s Grass Root
Groups and Community Child Protection Work Force guarantees a hope on Continues
effort on Prevention and Response to Violation of Children’s Rights. The
implementation of a plan of action to be developed after the training would get
support from the local leadership since preventing and responding to Child
Rights violation is one of their performance rates. Promotion of Grass Root
activities to all children at community level is also one of the components for
social development. The project implementation therefore fits well within the
national development vision and has high level of political support.
