description:

Alternative livelihoods are not a substitute for agriculture. It is important to emphasize that while evidence from the field visits shows great enthusiasm and optimism on the part of beneficiary communities, these livelihood alternatives, should not be seen as a panacea for solving child labour and poverty problems within the communities. These alternative livelihoods can complement the agricultural activities of the communities and not act as a substitute for them. In the long term, agriculture (cocoa and non-cocoa) still holds greater promise for transforming the economic and social lives of these communities.
