The overall objective of the project is to contribute elimination of worst forms of child labour (WFCL) in seasonal agriculture in line with the Government’s strategy drawn by the National Employment Strategy (2014-2023) and the National Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (2017-2023).

This new phase of the project aims at contributing to the withdrawal of children from work and prevention of at-risk children to be engaged in seasonal hazelnut agriculture through expanded implementation of the strategic intervention model in target areas; a sustainable child labour monitoring mechanism in seasonal agriculture; and strengthening national and local ownership with regards to the elimination of WFCL in seasonal agriculture with the help and better use of policy tools. In this respect, the project focuses on three outputs: capacity building towards local and national institutions, direct interventions towards all actors of harvesting process- children, families, intermediaries and garden owners for withdrawal/prevention and awareness-raising towards all actors of the harvesting process and the public.
