Strengthening Social Dialogue in Select Countries to Combat Hazardous Child Labour in Tobacco Growing - Uganda

Uganda tripartite meeting (proposed fourth quarter 2015): Similarly, in Uganda the project also will provide facilitation and technical support and build capacity for a tripartite meeting on child labour in tobacco growing, and will draft the outcome document. The project may be able to support the development of new child labour policy in the context of these meetings. This will be determined during consultations in the target countries about the detailed strategy of the project. 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.
