ACCEL Africa - Malawi
Child labour continues to be a challenge in Malawi where 2.12 million children representing 38 per cent of all children aged 5-17 are engaged in child labour.
Some 1.16 million children or 20.9 per cent are in-volved in hazardous work.
Child labour is present in almost all sectors, including agriculture, fishing, manufacturing, mining, services and construction.
Agriculture and related sub-sectors alone account for 66.2 per cent of children engaged in hazardous work. In Malawi, this project will focus on the elimination of child labour in the tea and coffee supply chains.
