Contributing to the implementation of the national strategy for eradicating all forms of child labour in Colombia

Project Purpose The project has two aims: 1. To gain a deeper understanding of the problem of child labour in the agricultural sector, and to identify strategies for implementing the National Policy for the Eradication of Child Labour in the agricultural sector, by working in three particular areas: rice, cotton and sugar cane. 2. To ensure strategies for tacking child labour more generally are included in the Municipal, Regional and National Development Plans, therefore institutionalising efforts to address the issue.
