A new platform to combat child labour in Mozambique
The ECLT Foundation joined together with the Government of Mozambique in a Memorandum of Understanding to create a platform to combat child labour and strengthen the rights of children, particularly those in situations of poverty and vulnerability in rural areas where tobacco is grown.
Over a 3-year period, the 2018 Memorandum of Understanding will focus on community education and training, awareness and communication, institutional capacity building and revising the legal framework.
