Brief description:
Engagement of Ghanaian NGOs on Child Labour/Child Trafficking issues in Cocoa Production
The purpose of the project was to strengthen the interventions of the Cocoa Protocol through independent civil society organizations informing and witnessing the process; encourage wider adoption of effective Cocoa Protocol interventions and “good practices” by NGOs working on other forms of trafficking and related abuses; and to strengthen and grow a functional national network of NGOs working against trafficking, Worst Forms of Child Labour (WFCL) and slavery in Ghana through participation of these civil society organizations in the Cocoa Protocol process.
As part of this project FTS arranged for 12 independent civil society organizations to undertake community visits. PDA, FTS and the implementing partners of ICI accompanied the participating NGOs on exposure visits to the community-based programs of the ICI, soliciting their feedback on the programs’ strengths and areas for improvement in follow-up meetings facilitated by PDA.
