Our Mission: Scaling up proven solutions to end child labour in agriculture

The CLAP Facility intends to drive more resources towards proven and successful practices and solutions. It aims to strengthen the capacity of agricultural stakeholders to reduce dependency on child labour and enhance synergies with existing public and private sector interventions to work collaboratively to achieve SDG Target 8.7.

Work areas

Through the Facility, FAO provides a comprehensive portfolio of solutions, ranging from technical assistance to knowledge generation, capacity development and awareness raising, advocacy and partnerships, as well as monitoring and evaluation.

By adopting an integrated approach, the CLAP Facility addresses rural households’ functional and socio-economic dependency on child labour. This is done through simultaneous interventions that are tailored to local needs and production systems, including :

• Promoting safe, labour-saving agricultural practices
• Equipping youth (15-17) with skills for decent work
• Improving access to education in rural areas and school-to-work transitions
• Promoting gender equality and women's empowerment
• Enhancing livelihood resilience through social protection
• Supporting sustainable agrifood value chains
• Reducing vulnerabilities to climate change and protracted crises
