This short awareness-raising animation explores the topic of forced labour.

This short animation explores the community development approach and how it works.

With the scale up of Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation Systems (CLMRS) advancing, and calls from civil society to set clear definitions and reporting benchmarks, the International Cocoa Initiative (ICI) carried out a review of these systems, commissioned by the Swiss Cocoa Platform.

This report analyses the impact of the International Cocoa Initiative’s Community Development Programme on child labour and its severity in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. ICI’s Community Development Programme supported 75 cocoa-growing communities in both countries over four years, between 2015 and 2018, with the overall aim of improving these communities’ capacity to protect children.

This short animation presents some of the activities that can have a real, positive impact, such as Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation Systems, or community development approaches. Research shows that child labour prevalence can be reduced by up to one-third when these measures are put in place.
