Welcome to ICI's blog in advance of our conference the first week of April.
The blog is designed to provide a forum to discuss ideas, share resources and best practice and identify common interests before we meet in London. In addition to sharing your experiences, expertise and highlights from your e-library, we hope you will add your name to the who's who's in London section on the left. You might also want to participate in our poll -- when can we realistically eliminate child labour in cocoa?
Our first conference is dedicated to addressing the complex issues associated with child labour in agriculture. The ILO estimates that 132 million children work in agriculture around the world – in many cases out of sheer economic necessity. Founded in 2002, the International Cocoa Initiative (ICI) is dedicated to ending child and forced labour in cocoa-growing.
Over the course of the next two weeks, we 'd be happy to hear what you'd like to focus on in London or what you've been working on. Similarly, we'll share with you our ideas and experiences and give you a brief preview of our open space format.
