Child labour due diligence training package for the tea and coffee supply chains in Uganda

The objectives of this training package is to: (i) increase business’ understanding of child labour and the negative effects child labour has on their operations; (ii) improve business understanding of how to implement the ILO-IOE Child Labour Guidance Tool for Business, in line with the UNGPs and the ILO MNE Declaration, as well as the relevant national legislation and regional frameworks such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD); and (iii) propose simple practices that companies can use in order to identify, prevent and mitigate risks and remedy cases of child labour.

The training package is designed for multinational companies with extensive global value chains and their business partners. It is also useful for SMEs within these value chains aiming to combat child labour. Additionally, it targets all companies at risk of child labour impacts in communities affected by their operations, financing, or investment decisions.

This document is a self-explanatory document that can be used by any facilitator or trainer to conduct the course following a set of detailed instructions. Before conducting the course, facilitators need to read and prepare the document carefully, as it is their fundamental work tool. Typically, facilitators will print out and bind this material, which will allow them to carry out the activities and follow the objectives.

Two other tools can be used by the facilitator, an slide presentation which can be used during the face-to-face sessions; and a Miro board to conduct the course entirely in an online, so participants can interact and carry out all activities, instead of doing it face-to-face.

This document accompanies participants through their learning experience, just like a school textbook. It is advisable to give it to participants at the beginning of the course. If this is not possible, participants can also print it out themselves, or even use it in its MS Word version if they participate in training with a computer.

This document provides participants with all the content that facilitators may share in class. In many cases, due to time constraints, facilitators cannot share all the ideas that would be important to participants, so aside from the key learning points, participants also have access to additional material when creating due diligence strategies and following each of the steps.
