About the ACCEL Africa project

The ACCEL Africa Project has the overarching goal to accelerate the elimination of child labour in Africa, through targeted actions in the cocoa, cotton, coffee, tea and gold supply chains. It adopts an innovative systems-approach to tackling child labour that moves away from project-based downstream interventions towards strengthening existing systems that are critical to tackle root causes of child labour.

The ACCEL Africa Phase II  theory of change is based on achieving three outcomes at the sub-national, national, regional and global  level: 

  1. Policy, legal and institutional frameworks are improved and enforced to address child labour in global supply chains; 
  2. Innovative and evidence-based solutions that address the root causes of child labour in supply chains are institutionalized; and 
  3. Strategies to address the root causes of child labour in global supply chains are upscaled through knowledge sharing, partnerships and financing. 

At each level, it will target root causes of child labour that were identified as key priorities in the Durban Call to Action, including access to social protection, decent work for adults/improved livelihoods,  transition from school-to-decent work for youth, and a safe and healthy work environment.
