The United Nations and other international organisations are important pillars in the fight against child and forced labour.  Targeted poverty reduction efforts, building capacity, supporting the Millennium Development Goals – each are important efforts that also impact on the issue of child labour.

ICI recognises the importance of the UN’s leadership and works closely with the appropriate organisations to ensure our goals and programmes are mutually beneficial.

ICI also works with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA).  An African-based research and development institute, IITA develops solutions to hunger and poverty across the continent.  IITA’s network of scientists is dedicated to the development of technologies that reduce producer and consumer risks, increase local production and, most importantly, generate wealth.
