Decent Work Risk Assessment in Better Cotton-producing Countries in Africa

Project start date: 2021-06-01 - Project end date: 2022-01-31

Help Better Cotton better understand the labour dynamics in 12 African countries and the risks and drivers of forced and child labour in cotton production. Conduct high-level risk assessment across all twelve countries, identify 3 high-risk countries that are sufficiently representative of decent work risks to develop an in-depth analysis on local cotton production, the root causes, risks and drivers of force labour and child labour.

Develop recommendations for how Better Cotton and its partners can address these risk factors, including a mapping of existing initiatives and new activities which should be initiated.
