Two core activities of a Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation System (CLMRS) are to raise awareness amongst farming families on harm resulting from child labour; and to identify children in, or at risk of child labour through an active monitoring process. The agents who implement these activities are the primary point of contact between farmers, their children and the CLMRS. Many systems rely on locally based agents, often farmers themselves, to do this job. This study aimed to better understand the dynamics of interactions between CLMRS agents and farmers when they have a personal

The learning agenda is collectively defined and prioritised, based on input from ICI's members and partners. It sets out our vision for the collective learning process over the next strategic period and will reviewed on an annual basis. This version of the learning agenda was last updated in November 2022.

This brief summary provides key definitions of light work, child labour, hazardous child labour and the worst forms of child labour, in line with ILO definitions. It includes a comparison of legislation on hazardous activities and age thresholds for Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana and Cameroon.

Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation Systems (CLMRS) are used to identify children who are in child labour, at risk of child labour or suffering other violations of their rights. Once identified, the next step is to provide tailored support. This operational tool developed by ICI has been created to : Help prioritise which children should receive support Identify the type of support to be provided. The tool consists of simple logic diagrams that guide decision-making and help plan prevention and remediation activities. It can be used to : To guide system set-up and implementation, by
