Role of UNICEF and the International Labour Organization in the Working

Introduction This subject deals with the berth of multinational actors corresponding UNICEF and the International Labour Organization (ILO) in the functional childrens movement. It examines the role of development communication in empowering working children, and its impact on the movement. The paper begins with a brief introduction to development, linking it with issues concerning working children. It then goes into a brief overview of UNICEF and the ILO, and talks about the role of each in the international working childrens movement. It evaluates one program executed by each of the makeups in dealing with a development situation, in terms of intent and purpose, policies and procedures, obstacles faced, and the moment of each effort. I then present my critique of strategies followed by some(prenominal) actors and my conclusion from this comparative analysis regarding the effectiveness of each actor. As this is a topic that has been of concern to me for a whil e, this analysis might appear to be a bit subjective to the reader, but I retain tested to bear in mind objectivity, and did extensive research on some(prenominal) organizations to make sure that I was looking at a simple enough body of work. The research consists mainly of information I set in motion on both websites as well as a hardly a(prenominal) books and journal articles. It also comes from the first hand experience of a non-profit organization that works with issues concerning working children, who have worked closely with the ILO and the United Nations. A transnational actor can be defined as a person, strain or organization that operates across borders and has some impact on field societies and environments. It became app arnt to me as I was doing my research that transnational actors often have admirable... ...tion to make sure the projects are meeting their goals. There needs to be constant monitoring of each new venture undertaken. Detailed evaluations of sure projects and research for new strategies in place of older unsuccessful ones are essential, to make plans better cater to the needs of the children. Lastly I ideate there needs to be increased government and non-profit participation, and involvement of the children, to introduce about the best kind of development. From a development communication standpoint, I think the ILO manages to utilize the most optimum model to bring about progress and change the status quo, wehreas this is largely lacking in UNICEFs approach.
