Malawi: From Child Labour to Decent Work

In Malawi, poverty, lack of education, gender inequalities and the HIV pandemic are the engines driving child labour, and make it so hard to defeat. But a new intervention called 'convergence' -- which integrates action at the national, district and local levels, is showing promise to create child labour free zones in the areas where it has been implemented. The convergence model is showing results in one of the world's poorest countries, where child labour has long been a part of daily life. In Malawi, the 'Integrated Area Based Approach' is showing the way for communities themselves to take the lead in ending child labour.
