Fund for the Prevention of Child Labour in Mining Communities (Global Battery Alliance)

A fund announced on 16 November 2020 as a Global Battery Alliance collaboration, to be administered and programmed exclusively by UNICEF and focused on mining communities in the copper belt of Lualaba and Haut-Katanga. It aimed to raise US$21 million from public and private partners over three years; that is a target, and no amount raised is published. No later item on the fund was found.
