This program was implemented in the three districts of Mchinji, Ntchisi and Rumphi. The program targeted the communities through of food security, awareness raising and advocacy, improvement in education through rehabilitation of school blocks and construction of new blocks. The program also made provision for safe spaces to the withdrawn children from child labour for them to be rehabilitated before they could be repatriated back to their homes or back to school. The program constructed one safe space in Rumphi district. This program was being implemented by a consortium led by Save the Children. The CLEAR program entered in the second phase and it is expected that the third phase will also be incepted and will run from 2019 for the next four years. 143 Another program is the Achieving Reduction of Child Labour in Support of Education (ARISE). This Program was funded by Japan Tobacco International (JTI). It was being implemented by two partners which were International Labour Organization (ILO) and Winrock International. The first phase targeted two districts in tobacco growing areas which are Lilongwe and Ntcheu. In these districts the program targeted the communities through provision of education services, awareness raising and advocacy, law, policy and regulatory framework among others. These have helped the communities to be economically empowered. The communities were given the services of village savings and loans, goat and chicken raring and other small scale businesses. The ILO is bringing another program on child labour elimination that will target districts growing oily crops like groundnuts, soya beans, sunflower and others. 144 The Government through Ministry of Labour, Youth, Sports and Manpower Development has developed the National Child Labour Policy.
