CLEAR Supply Chains

ILO-led project “Ending child labour in supply chains: Addressing the root causes of child labour in supply chains through an area-based approach”, funded by the European Union through DG International Partnerships and co-implemented with FAO, ITC and UNICEF in the DRC, Honduras, Uganda and Viet Nam. Its general objective covers the coffee and cobalt supply chains, and its mining result area aims to build on existing efforts in minerals, particularly cobalt. Its activities in the DRC are not detailed on ILO's project page, the one source read.
