ARISE II: elimination of child labour in tobacco-growing communities in Tanzania

This addendum extends the partnership between JT International SA and the ILO for a further 4 years, until 31 December 2018, to cover additional activities under the global component of the project, as well as under country specific actions in Brazil, Malawi, Zambia and Tanzania. The partnership focuses on advancing the agenda to effectively eliminate child labour in farming communities from which JTI sources tobacco. It will draw on the lesson learned in the first phase to consolidate the gains achieved and pursue opportunities to increase the scope and impact of the PPP. A global component to the strategy, the Global Training Programme (GTP) will support JTI’s efforts to promote sustainability in its supply chain, particularly the Agricultural Labour Practices (ALP) and Know Your Grower (KYG) programmes, through risk assessments and improvements in occupational safety and health (OSH).
