Elimination of Worst Forms of Child Labour in Seasonal Commercial Agriculture in hazelnut harvesting in Ordu

The development objective of the project is to contribute to the elimination of the WFCL in seasonal commercial agriculture in line with the Government’s strategy drawn by the National Time Bound Policy and Programme Framework (TBPPF) for the elimination of WFCL by 2015. The immediate objectives of the project are to enhance local capacity for the removal of children from the WFCL in seasonal commercial agriculture in hazelnut production in Ordu; to prevent at-risk children from entering such work through capacity building of public institutions linked to Ordu Governorate, Ordu Municipality, Ordu Chamber of Agriculture, local NGOs; and to develop monitoring models and partnerships including public/private partnerships (PPP). The project would ultimately develop a strategic intervention model which would in turn contribute to the policy making and effective implementation process for the elimination of WFCL in Turkey. Three outputs are envisaged within the project duration: Output 1/Capacity Building: The capacity of local institutions in Ordu has been improved in planning, managing, coordinating, monitoring and implementing activities for the elimination of WFCL in seasonal commercial agriculture in hazelnut production. Output 2/Direct Support: Effective withdrawal and prevention mechanism for the WFCL in seasonal commercial agriculture in hazelnut production has been established and implemented at the local level. Output 3/Awareness Raising: An awareness raising strategy has been developed and implemented towards general public, families, employers, intermediaries as well as the media.
