The project will aim to empower cocoa growing communities to design and implement Community Action Plans (CAPs) to address child labor at the community level.

In addition, the project will provide vulnerable households with livelihood services and occupational safety and health (OSH) training. The duration of the project will be a maximum of 4 years (48 months) from the effective date of the award.
