action_plan:

Different studies conducted under the ACCEL Africa project such as baseline surveys, rapid assessments and value chain analyses indeed provide important information to understand child labour prevalence and situation in supply chains. However, the ILO agreed on the importance of strengthening the research methodology. The recommendation has been shared with the Research Unit of FUNDAMENTALS for future research activities, in addition to our evaluation knowledge and its management. For example, the value chain analysis conducted in Uganda has been able to provide a comprehensive picture of child labour in tea and coffee value chains and identified gaps to be addressed to strengthen actions/due diligence for the reduction and prevention of child labour. The project team will publish those reports and promote the implementation of similar studies in other countries and value chains.

title:

The ILO should adopt new approach that include more focus on systems- strengthening in research and data collection, giving special attention on the specific comparative advantage of ACCEL to investigate how complex supply chains, with extensive transformation, can be mapped and how child labour prevalence can be calculated in different steps of the chain.
