Emerging good practice in combating the worst forms of child labour in West African cocoa-growing communities

This work gathers together the experiences and ideas from representatives of governments, organisations and agencies active at different stages along the cocoa supply chain as well as from men, women and children living in cocoa growing communities. This work provides an opportunity to review essential elements of the environment required to support the elimination of child labour in cocoa production and other sectors. It identifies some emerging good practices from existing interventions in the hope of contributing to their proliferation. It reflects on the roles and responsibilities of those concerned to encourage greater clarity, coordination and collaboration in the coming years.
