CLMRS are the most widely used approach to tackling child labour in the cocoa sector, covering more than 1.17 million households in 2024. However, these systems are complex to design, implement and evaluate. Regular assessment is useful to identify strengths and weaknesses, and to guide continuous improvement.
ICI has developed this self-assessment checklist to support CLMRS implementers in monitoring system performance and the quality of implementation. It provides guidance on the specific checks to be conducted, the rationale behind them, and how to identify areas requiring further improvement.
This document explains what the checklist is and how to use it, presents the checklist itself, and provides guidance on interpreting the results.
