Uganda: addressing child labour in small mining communities​

See this video as a successful example of how several ngo’s, including our partner NASCENT-RDO, Philips, Fairphone and Fair Trade are working with gold mineworkers and the local community to improve the income and working conditions of the adults, and to improve children’s education.

A district level a child labour working group was constituted with key partners addressing child labour in the area. District departments mandated to protect children such as probation and social welfare department, mineral police, security teams, child family and protection unit officers of the area. This is to majorly hold governmental and other key actors accountable for their plans and actions to eliminate child labour.
