1.7 Reducing Child Labor and Trafficking in Fisheries
Literature review of secondary information on Child Labor and Trafficking CLaT in Fisheries was prepared by FON and SNV. They participated in various alliance building meetings where
information on national level CLaT interventions by Government Agencies and CSOs were gathered and profiled to develop a contact list. These initial studies and networking initiated will
inform the rapid assessment on CLaT in the CR planned for the next quarter.
The SNV child labor and trafficking advisor, Dickson Adeborna, has conducted familiarization visits to some of the fishing communities identified by Challenging Heights in Winneba, Central
Region.
There has also been a good amount of communication between SNV and FoN, DAA and CEWEFIA to arrange for a child labor and trafficking assessment toolkit workshop. SNV has
spearheaded the workshop on child labor and assessment toolkit in Cape Coast on March 26-27, 2015.
