According to the 2020 annual report of the International Cocoa Initiative Foundation (ICI) published on Tuesday June 1, 2021, at the end of 2020, the activities of this organization to combat child labor in cocoa farming in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana have reached more than 422,000 children in cocoa-growing communities in both countries, under the 2015-2020 strategy.
This figure exceeds the initial target of 375,000 children. The lives of these children have been improved through a combination of child-centered community development work and Child Labor Monitoring and Remediation (CLSR) systems, implemented with ICI members and partners.
