Child labor (See ILO Convention No. 138)
Work that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to childrenand interferes with their schooling.
Worst forms of child labor (See ILO Convention No. 182, Article 3)
• All forms of slavery or practices similar to slavery• The use, procuring or offering of a child for prostitution, the production of
pornography or illicit activities such as ttrafficking of drugs• Work which, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried out, is likely to
harm the health, safety or morals of children – corresponding to hazardous childlabor

The members of the German Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa advocate for….
GISCO Specific Goal GISCO indicators
Specific goal 6
„…the abolition of worst forms of child labor in cocoa
production.“
By the end of 2025, 100 % of reached communities in GISCO
member projects/programs are covered by a strategy or system
for the prevention, control, monitoring and remediation of the
worst forms of child labor.
Specific goal 8
„…enforcing compliance with human rights (implementation of
the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights) and
environmental aspects by all actors in the cocoa supply chain
and contributing to the discussion on possible regulatory
measures at EU level. “
By the end of 2025 all GISCO members implement human
rights and environmental due diligence.
Specific goal 1
„…improved farm-gate prices, minimum price and premium
systems as well as other income-generating measures as
contributions to a living income(1) of cocoa farming
households.“
1. From 2020 onwards, GISCO members report on the price
sustainability premiums/ton paid by them to their suppliers
and/or farmers for the cocoa purchased/processed
2. By 2025, at least 80 % of reached farmers in relevant GISCO
member projects/programs** have increased**** their net
household income*** by at least 35 % (Baseline KIT, 2017)

PROGRESS TO-DATE2015-2020
• 380,000+ children positively impacted since 2015 through ICI’s direct operational work and projects with our partners.
• ICI’s influencing impact to be evaluated by year-end.
• Our work shows positive results in reducing child labour:
• Child labour can be reduced by up to 20% over 3 years through child-centered community development.
• Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation Systems (CLMRS) can reduce child labour by 50% amongst identified children.
• ICI estimates that effective, industry-backed child protection systems cover only 10-20% of the cocoa supply chain (in CDI and Ghana) as at end-2020.

OUR EXPECTED COVERAGE AND IMPACT
ESTIMATING ICI’S 2025 IMPACT ON CHILD LABOUR
Estimated potential impact of
ICI’s Direct Action:
Up to 210,000 children
could be supported out of child labour.
Up to42,500 children
could be less exposed to hazardous work.
Total estimated potential impact of
ICI’s Action & Influencing:
Up to 850,000 children
could be supported out of child labour.
Up to170,000 children
could be less exposed to hazardous work.
Estimated potential impact of
ICI’s Influencing work:
Up to 637,500 children
could be supported out of child labour.
Up to 127,500 children
could be less exposed to hazardous work.
+REDUCED CHILD LABOUR FOR UP
TO 1 MILLION CHILDREN
SO WHAT’S DIFFERENT?
• BUILDING ON PROVEN RESULTS
• MORE IMPACT• 100% system coverage (CDI + GH)• New geographies (WA)• 1.7 million children at-risk of child labour• Scaling through systems strengthening (community, local, supply-chain, national,
international) • Addressing barriers to scale (knowledge, alignment, motivation, capability,
accountability)
• EXPANDING HUMAN RIGHTS DUE DILIGENCE• Working at the nexus of the SDGs and UNGPs
• FULL INTEGRATION OF FORCED LABOUR
• ICI AS CATALYST
• FOCUS ON RESULTS• Prevalence and severity metrics• Root-causes and risk indicators
• DRIVING ACCOUNTABILITY• Data disaggregation for ICI actions, ICI members actions and sector-wide outcomes
• ENABLING PARTNERSHIPS
NEW PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS

Agenda
The issues
How we tackle them
CLMRS in more detail
Smallholder farming system with human and environmental issues…
Living IncomeChild LabourDeforestation
• Not enough income for a decent living
Due to
• Low cocoa productivity
• Poor agricultural practices and aging trees
• Insufficient income from other sources
• Farming costs
• Commodity prices
• Families resort to using their children to work on the farm
Due to
• Limited education facilities
• Malnutrition
• Insufficient water and health provision
• Lack of adult labour
• Use of family labour
• Protected forests are cut
Due to
• Soil depletion – extending to new areas
• Migration
• Lack of enforcement
• Logging
BETTER FARMINGEnabling farmers to run profitable farms by:
• Farmer training to improve farming practices
• Better quality plants to improve yield and disease resistance
• Respecting the environment to avoid deforestation
BETTER LIVESImproving social conditions by:
• Tackling child labour through transparency and monitoring to help elimination
• Promoting gender equality to improve household revenues
• Improving water and sanitation provision
BETTER COCOASustainable good quality cocoa by:
• Building long term loyal customer - farmer
Group relationships
• Supply chain traceability to the farmer
• Rewarding NCP farmers for certification and good quality.
Collaboration, Transparency and Public Reporting Working with WCF, CocoaAction, independent partners e.g. Fair Labor Association, ICI, Rainforest Alliance, IDH, GIZ, local NGO’s and research organisations
OUR VISION Building a brighter future for cocoa farmers, producing great quality cocoa
OUR MISSION Better Farming, Better Lives, Better Cocoa, Every day
