The International Labor Office (ILO) and the Ministry of Employment and Social Protection are organizing a capacity building workshop, from July 21 to 23, 2021, in Grand-Bassam. This training is part of the implementation of the National Action Plan to Combat Trafficking, Exploitation and the Worst Forms of Child Labor in Côte d'Ivoire (Pan 2019-2021).

The strengthening workshop, which brings together labor inspectors and doctor-inspectors, aims to develop a strategy for labor inspection in cocoa-producing areas. The results of this work should help them to intervene more effectively in the informal economy, particularly in agriculture by enforcing labor laws and regulations, including on child labour. Funded by the International Labor Organization (ILO), this seminar is the continuation of a workshop which was held from 20 to 22 January 2021 and which made it possible to strengthen the capacities of labor inspectors and medical inspectors on basic concepts of child labor and to make general recommendations for strategic planning. According to Sophie De Connick, representative of the Country Director of the International Labor Organization (ILO), 92 million children were in work to be abolished in 2020. 41 million of them are in dangerous work that harms their health. and their morality.
