The Alliance 8.7
Through concerted and focused action involving many actors, the world community can live up to its commitments and achieve target 8.7 by 2030. But there is an urgent need to coordinate this endeavour, both within and beyond the UN system. With no time to lose, the ILO therefore proposes to bring together all interested parties through a multi-stakeholder “Alliance 8.7”.
Once partners of the Alliance have agreed on the mission and goals, a detailed success matrix will be developed to evaluate the contribution of the Alliance to improved coordination and impact with regards to target 8.7.

Vision
A world free from:
• Forced labour, modern slavery and human trafficking
• Child labour in all forms, with particular attention to its worst forms

Mission
Assist all member States of the United Nations in achieving target 8.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals: Take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms.

Goals
Achieve a significant increase in the rate of reduction in child labour and forced labour, through:
• Increased global awareness
• Powerful advocacy for high-level commitment
• Coordinated and coherent action at the global, regional and country level
• More effective policies and action plans, including a sharper focus on prevention
• Support for new and innovative initiatives
• Better monitoring and knowledge sharing
