A capacity and coordination review commissioned by the ILO/IPEC Cocoa Communities Project in Ghana. This is volume I of the report on the assessment, detailing the findings and recommendations for strengthening national capacity to coordinate and implement the NP on child labor in Ghana. Volume II of the report contains more detailed information on the process and methodology employed in the assessment as well as annexes. The reports are contained in two volumes to make it easier to read. The review looks into national, district and local capacity to implement the NPA and to coordinate interventions to eliminate child labor. The main focus for the exercise is on coordination, but other dimensions of capacity are also explored. Therefore, this report includes conclusions and recommendations pertaining to coordination, but also towards other dimensions of capacity that were found to be critical.

The first volume of the report is the “Report on the Review of Capacity and Coordination towards Elimination of Child Labour in Ghana. Volume I: Report on the main findings and recommendations”.

A study conducted to support national efforts to eliminate Worst Forms of Child Labor (WFCL) in the mining and quarrying sector.

This report presents findings on needs assessments of schools, including teachers and School Management Committees (SMC) in 40 cocoa growing communities. The report feeds into the design and provision of direct educational services to target schools and teachers (including training for teachers).

This reference material is an addendum to the School Management Committee Resource Handbook. This addendum introduces three important reference materials: Child Labour, Governance and Leadership. Child labour is captured under Section 2 (Access and participation) of the training manual. Leadership and governance is captured under section 3 (management efficiency). This addendum seeks to provide information to trainers/facilitators using the updated SMC Training Manual.

This SMC Training Manual seeks to provide basic guide for the training of School Management Committees. It seeks to help facilitators and SMCs understand what is already in the SMC Resource Manual. This Training Manual particularly focuses on issues of Child Labor and Education and has therefore expanded on topics under Child Rights in the Resource Manual. This is as a result of the greater recognition that the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service and its development partners give to the issue of child labor and education. Contributions for this publication were provided by the Ghana National Education Campaign Coalition (GNECC) (with sponsorship from ActionAid and Big Lottery Fund) and the ILO-IPEC’s project RAF/10/54/USA, funded by the United States Department of Labor.
