Technical support on decent work in rural economy in Mali

The aim of this project is to provide support to the tripartite constituents in their action to combat the worst forms of child labour. Emphasis will be placed on child labour in the rural economy and agriculture, including fishery and animal husbandry, where child labour is prevalent. Building on work undertaken in previous biennia, assistance will be provided to translate into action the revised roadmap for the elimination of child labour in agriculture, which is part of the National Plan of Action for the Elimination of Child Labour. The roadmap contributes to the achievement of national objectives in the area of education, child protection, rural development, living conditions for rural households, and employment of young people in the rural economy. Interventions include an assessment of the occupational safety and health risks in agriculture, capacity building for labour inspection and other relevant services to ensure greater compliance with the law at national and regional levels, and training of trainers in agricultural training centres in occupational safety and health matters. Work under this project contributes to the achievement of SDG target 8.7 and will benefit from technical and financial support from FAO.
