Ghana declares first Child Labour-Free Zones in Ashanti, Western North with JICA support
Ghana has officially declared three cocoa-growing communities in the Ashanti and Western North Regions as the country’s first Child Labour-Free Zones (CLFZs), marking a major milestone in efforts to eliminate child labour.
The communities declared as Child Labour-Free Zones are Subri in the Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai Municipality of the Western North Region, as well as the Kuffour Camp Area Council and Tano Dumase Area Council in the Ashanti Region.
The Child Labour-Free Zones initiative brings together government institutions, district assemblies, traditional authorities, schools, civil society organisations, communities and private sector actors to eliminate child labour and promote education.
