The U.S. Department of Labor’s annual report on the Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor assesses progress made in the global fight against child labor. The launch webinar took place on 29 September 2021, including insights from Thea Lee (USDOL), Marty J. Walsh (USDOL) and Rosa DeLauro (Congresswoman).

This report describes different approaches used to develop risk models to predict child labour in the context of cocoa-growing areas of West Africa.

This analysis, carried out by UNICEF, seeks to fill knowledge gaps related to child protection in Ghana.

This report, commissioned by the International Cocoa Initiative (ICI) and conducted by Christophe Lecureuil of CLC Consultant and Glenn O’Neil of Owl RE, evaluates ICI’s influencing work between 2015 and 2020. Based on desk research, an online survey of ICI members and partners, and interviews with other stakeholders from the cocoa sector, it analyses the effectiveness and efficiency of the organisation’s influencing and technical advocacy.

This study, produced by the Transport & Infrastructure Expertise Group for the European Commission, analyses the root causes of child labour in the cocoa supply chain in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana and seeks to identify gaps to be addressed. In addition, it proposes solutions to support the elimination of child labour and the development of sustainable and responsible cocoa production in both countries.
