Synopsis (short abstract) The Child Labour in Agriculture Prevention Facility (CLAP Facility) is a flexible and impact-oriented multi-donor programme, implemented by FAO. The Facility will support and strengthen the capacity of agricultural stakeholders to improve the livelihoods of rural communities and reduce their dependencies on child labour at scale, with special consideration to socio-cultural and economic specificities and inequalities. This publication highlights funding modalities, FAO's comparative advantage, and the main actions undertaken through the Facility to address the root causes of child labour in agriculture, as a prerequisite to eradicate rural poverty and build inclusive and sustainable agrifood systems.

    On 2–3 November 2021, to mobilize global action and highlight concrete solutions to eradicate child labour in agriculture, FAO, in close collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and in partnership with the International Partnership for Cooperation on Child Labour in Agriculture (IPCCLA) and the Alliance 8.7, organized a high-level virtual event: the Global Solutions Forum (GSF). The objectives of the GSF were to raise the voices and commitment of agricultural stakeholders, share game-changing solutions, and identify ways to step up concerted action to prevent and end child labour in all agricultural subsectors. The outcomes of the event are expected to inform the V Global Conference on Child Labour in 2022, along with other global initiatives such as the United Nations Decade of Family Farming.
