This study examines the impacts of an unconditional cash transfer programme on cocoa-growing households in Ghana. The pilot project, set up as a randomized control trial, aimed to test whether cash transfers can help reduce hazardous child labour. It also examines what other impacts cash transfers have on children and their families in this context.

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 study provides in-depth analysis of data from Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation Systems (CLMRS) across cocoa-growing areas of West Africa. Building on a concept developed by the ILO as part of its International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC), CLMRS are a means of targeting prevention, mitigation and remediation support to children involved in, or at-risk of, child labour, as well as to their families and communities.

The Child Labour Global Estimates 2020 report, prepared by ILO and Unicef, provides updated estimates of child labour at global level and by region. It discusses the potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and calls for immediate steps to be taken to eliminate child labour by 2025.

ICI’s 2020 annual report looks back over the 2015-2020 strategic period during which the effectiveness of child-centred community development approaches and Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation Systems, implemented with our partners, was confirmed.
