ECLT mobilises key stakeholders, through global events, networks and platforms to identify, develop and implement sustainable solutions to fight child labour.
To complement our work at local level, ECLT prioritises multi-stakeholder efforts and social dialogue as part of the long-term sustainability of our work against root causes of child labour.
Joining forces is key to maximising our impact and eliminating child labour. At international level ECLT actively engages with the United Nations, International Non-Governmental Organisations, and Multi-National Companies. ECLT is a member of the UN Global Compact, ILO Child Labour Platform Alliance 8.7 and a holder of United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) special consultative Status.
At the National Level, ECLT brings together government, employer and worker representatives, farmers associations, civil society and local leaders to secure concrete commitments, to build capacity and close policy gaps.
ECLT raises awareness on child labour and supports the development and implementation of national, district and local action plans.
