Good Practice Responding to Child LabourTo effectively respond to child labour risks, there must be a clear understand-
ing of the problem across the supply chain, with appropriate capacities and
systems developed to prevent, identify and respond to those risks.
Case study ICI-Nestlé, Child-Labour Monitoring and Remediation System (Côte d’Ivoire) The objective of the Nestlé Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation System
(CLMRS) is to reduce child labour related-risks in Nestlé Cocoa Plan cooper-
atives by targeting remediation efforts to at-risk-individuals and households.
The main elements of the CLMRS are:
• On-going community-wide protection and prevention through awareness
raising
• Monitoring of all children in the cooperative
• Identification of child labour cases
• Remediation activities for identified cases and/ or children at risk
Remediation activities can take place at three different levels:
Individual level school enrolment, vocational training, provision of school
kits and birth certificates;
Household level women are supported to set up income-generating
activities;
Community-level support to school equipment; school construction, creation
of Community Service Groups that are trained to undertake
hazardous activities for farmers in the communities
Lessons learned on responding to child labour through child labour monitoring:
• To avoid the problem being hidden, child labour monitoring must be linked
to supportive remediation activities that assist identified cases, rather than
trigger sanctions
• Scalability and sustainability will depend on minimising costs, for instance
by building systems into existing supply-chain/certification management
or community structures.
