International Cocoa Initiative (ICI) (www.cocoainitiative.org) is a multi-stakeholder organization, uniting the forces of civil society, certifiers, the cocoa and chocolate industry, and international institutions, and working with governments to address child and forced labour in the cocoa sector.ICI has developed a Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation System (CLMRS) that allows industry partners to manage responsibly the risk of child labour in their cocoa supply chain. In line with the Ghana Child Labor Monitoring System (GCLMS), the system is based on the presence of Community Facilitators (CF) within cocoa-growing communities who raise awareness on the issue of child labour; identify cases and implement remediation activities.

STUDY OUTLINEICI is seeking a consultant to conduct a qualitative study to answer the research questions below: Country Ghana Background and objectiveICI has been testing the use of community-based grievance mechanisms in Ghana since 2022. Two years later, initial observations, feedback and data on recorded grievances show promising results.

The objective of this study is to go beyond these initial observations and understand how this approach can be further improved and implemented sustainably in the longer term, by conducting a robust qualitative analysis of the process. The results will inform improvements to ICI-implemented community-based grievance mechanisms in Ghana to support sustainable functioning of these mechanisms now and in the longer term to address labour violations in cocoa communities. TimeframeMay-July 2024 Audience & useThis study is aimed at ICI and its members.
