Study context:The city of Limeira-SP houses the largest centers of jewelry and costume jewelry production in Brazil, which is characterized by the use of informal and domestic labor, including teenage and child labor in tasks of assembling, welding, and setting pieces.A study has revealed that in the city 27% of students from the public state schools were working in assembling and welding jewelry, what meant a total of 8,340 individuals conducting tasks that were repetitive and dangerous to their health.This diagnosis of the situation led to the mobilization of public institutions and civil society in creating an inter-sectoral network articulated by the Municipal Commission for the Eradication of Child Labour in Limeira -COMETIL, which operates since 2007.The objective of this project is to evaluate the scope, limits and possibilities of the inter-sectoral actions taken by COMETIL in the period between 2007 and 2010, in order to highlight and to evaluate their strategies.The methodology used in the study was qualitative and structured like a case study, based on: a) the participation of researchers who were members of COMETIL (along the lines of action research), b) a document analysis and c) semi-structured interviews with 13 individuals representing some segments involved in the committee.The results were organized chronologically to highlight key events perceived as crucial in the history of the interventions conducted by COMETIL.They include: the importance of academic research in identifying social problems; the role of the media in the dissemination of the results; the significance of the actions based on health promotion aimed at raising public awareness and the development of technical skills among public servants; the prominence of inter-sectoral articulation and specially the support of institutions like the Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of Labor and Employment; the need to advance on actions of health surveillance; and finally the potential of the strategy of territorialization to the development of actions in the field of Health and Social Development.The analysis of the results allowed to understand the successful strategies adopted by the Commission, as well as to observe the limits of the articulations of the network and to point out new ways to overcome them.There is still resistance from some essential sectors to participate in an effective way on the inter-sectoral actions.The jewelry entrepreneurs need to rethink the production flow in order to make it sustainable regarding both the environment and the worker's health; the state education system also needs to be engaged in the spaces established by COMETIL since these loci are privileged space to formulate strategic actions.The schools have significant social penetration in society and therefore their participation is essential.Moreover, the children and adolescents with greater potential for labor exploitation are inserted in the public state schools.Final considerations: COMETIL instituted an inter-sectoral decentralized network that operates territorially on the issue of unprotected Child and Adolescent Labour.Even though there are no quantitative indicators to demonstrate its contribution in reducing the rates of Child Labour, some of the developed strategies can serve as an example for other initiatives to this end.Further research is needed to promote changes in the production flow to make it sustainable and to verify the effectiveness of undertaken actions of health promotion
