Overview
This Rights-Based and Landscape project, Tackling Forced and Child Labour in Cocoa and Gold Landscapes (‘Ye Ne Mmofra No Nti’), addresses forced, child, and worst forms of child labor in both sectors to prevent migration. The Rainforest Alliance and its partners are implementing a three-year NORAD-funded project.
The project aims to 1) strengthen government institutions to identify, monitor, prevent, and address forced and child labor and human trafficking; 2) improve the capacity of cocoa and gold mining organizations and supply chain actors to implement Human Right Due Diligence and best practices; and 3) help community-based organizations and monitors advocate for and demand accountability from the government. While building socio-economic resilience, it strives to protect vulnerable people from forced and child labor.
