The “An Integrated Model for the Elimination of Worst Forms of Child Labour in Seasonal Agriculture in Hazelnut Harvesting” Project is funded by CAOBISCO and built on three main pillars of capacity building, direct intervention and awareness raising which are interlinked and reinforce each other.
The project adopts a dual strategy: “upstream” policy work in the form of encouraging national and local ownership, national leadership and capacity development as well as advocacy; and “downstream” work to reduce and prevent the worst forms of child labour in seasonal agriculture through integrated area-based interventions in target provinces. This is the first ever public-private partnership project of the ILO Office for Türkiye and seeks to take action against child labour. The project has been implemented in four phases till December 2023 in Ordu, Giresun, Samsun, Düzce, Sakarya and Şanlıurfa and extended for phase 5 until the end of 2026 in the same provinces.
The Project is built on three main pillars which are:
- Local and national capacity development;
- Implementation and scaling up of strategic intervention model and awareness raising for local and national stakeholders,
- Value chain actors, and general public.
The current phase of the project will be implemented until March 2027 in 9 provinces which are Ordu, Samsun, Sakarya, Düzce, Zonguldak, Trabzon, Şanlıurfa, Adıyaman and Diyarbakır.
