- comments:
- Beneficiaries working in the lowest tiers of the supply chain.
- challenges:
- Without integrating more multinationals and private sector intermediaries it becomes harder to holistically address the pressures faced by workers at the lowest tier of the supply chain and reduce predatory behaviour.
- success:
- n/a
- context:
- The project focused on working with supply chains to address the issue of child labour. However, the supply chain approach was mostly focused on working with the communities. Examples were found of private sector intermediaries that pressure farmers to sell products such as cocoa below market rates.
- description:
- While legal frameworks were strengthened and communities were empowered in their occupational health and safety, and income diversity, the impact of ACCEL-I Africa on poverty was hindered by the behaviour of intermediaries and multinational organisations.
- administrative_issues:
- There is a need for a greater integration of private sector intermediaries and international organisation into Project design and activities.
