    Food security, nutrition, and ending child labour in agriculture for recovery and resilience 2021

    An advocacy note has been developed by the FAO, the Global Food Security Cluster, and the WFP to mobilize food and agricultural stakeholders and to upscale action towards the reduction of child labour in agriculture in humanitarian contexts. Special attention should address the heightened risk of child labour in food crises, protracted conflicts and natural disasters. In a crisis or humanitarian setting, tackling child labour through agriculture, food security and nutrition programming is key for recovery and resilience. Well-timed interventions for crisis-affected populations can help to prevent, mitigate, or even eliminate child labour in agriculture, while strengthening livelihoods and building sustainable and secure food systems.

    Elimination of child labour in agriculture through social protection
    Guidance note
    2023
    Also available in:

    The aim of the guidance note on elimination of child labour in agriculture through social protection is to enable practitioners at national, regional and global levels to adapt social protection systems to contribute actively to eliminate child labour in agriculture. Universal social protection can prove an effective means to both address rural poverty and child labour in agriculture, if done right. This requires integrating child labour analysis into social protection policies and programmes, designing social protection programmes that address the underlying drivers of child labour and/or directly target families and communities prone to child labour. This guidance note analyses evidence related to both social assistance and social insurances as well as supportive functions in labour market programmes/livelihood support, social care services and their influence on child labour in agriculture. As a result, the guidance note outlines specific steps to integrate child labour analysis into social protection programmes targeting rural households depending on agriculture for their livelihoods.
