In this external evaluation, the results of the Eliminating Child Labor in Cocoa are presented alongside the key learnings from the project.

ICI commissioned this evaluation in January 2019. It examines progress made since 2015 and aims to answer the question: to what extent are cocoa-growing communities more protective of children and their rights?

This report presents research commissioned by the World Cocoa Foundation that explores the financial and business case for supporting Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs), a key part of cocoa sustainability strategies.

This paper steps back from dominant discourses around child labour, and examines how we can arrive at a more nuanced understanding of the forms, prevalence, drivers, and dynamics of child work - particularly work that is harmful. The authors aim to open space for new discourses, strategies, and interventions with which children’s harmful work in agriculture might be addressed.

This journal article, published in the International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, investigates the possibility of transitioning to a sustainable cocoa future, specifically in Cameroon.
