The 5th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour is held in Durban, South Africa, from 15 to 20 May 2022.
During the conference, ACE co-organises a side event with JICA and the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations, the Government of Ghana. This side event intends to facilitate learning and discussion on the possibilities of the area-based approach as a solution to eliminate child labour particularly in countries where child labour is prevalent in agriculture.
Join us if you’re interested in finding a way beyond the supply chain approach to eliminate child labour in agriculture and other sectors!
