ILO CAPSA – The International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Capacity Strengthening of Governments to Address (CAPSA) Child Labor and/or Forced Labor, and Violations of Acceptable Conditions of Work in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Since January 2022, CDTD has collaborated with the International Labour Organization (ILO) on the Capacity Strengthening of Governments to Address Child Labor and/or Forced Labor, and Violations of Acceptable Conditions of Work in Sub-Saharan Africa (ILO CAPSA) project. This partnership aims to enhance CDTD’s capacity in combating child labor, forced labor, and violations of acceptable work conditions in Kenya. Our focus lies in providing quality services to victims and survivors of these labor practices, ensuring their rights at work are upheld.
As part of our involvement, CDTD has undertaken specific tasks outlined in the CAPSA project’s work plan. These include activities aimed at enhancing assistance services for victims of child labor and/or forced labor. Notably, we’ve supported the strengthening of linkages between vocational training services and rescue centers at both national and county government levels, particularly for victims repatriated from the Middle East. Additionally, we’ve worked to improve coordination among agencies providing social services for victims, facilitating more efficient referral mechanisms at various government levels. Furthermore, recognizing the critical need for standardized care for victims of trafficking, CDTD has played a pivotal role in developing Minimum Standards of Care for Victims of Trafficking. These standards aim to guide organizations in providing adequate care and protection to victims while planning for their eventual reintegration into their families and communities. Under the CAPSA project, we’ve spearheaded the development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for shelters supporting victims, ensuring consistency and effectiveness in their services. Additionally, we organized a Consultative Forum on Labour Migration in the East African Community (EAC), furthering our efforts to address labor migration challenges in the region.

Launched in 2001 as the premier program of CDTD, the Domestic Workers Transformation Program is an integrated program that aims at empowering Domestic Workers in Kenya with skills for employment and self-reliance.
