Strengthening Social Dialogue in Selected Countries to Combat Hazardous Child Labour in Tobacco-Growing - Malawi

Malawi Symposium (proposed November 2015): The project will provide technical support for a tripartite (plus) Malawi Symposium on Hazardous Child Labour and Decent Youth Employment (with practical support from the ECLT CLEAR project), which will include key stakeholders and the Malawian national and sectoral social partners and relevant public bodies. The meeting will emphasize the role of social dialogue, including at sectoral level, and the development of the capacity of district authorities in combatting child labour in tobacco growing. In Malawi, Uganda and Tanzania, in particular through support for the major meetings to be held during 2015, the project will enhance the capacity of local, district and national governments and social partners, including in the tobacco sector and in key tobacco growing districts, to be central actors in the development and delivery of integrated policies to combat child labour.
