This report illustrates an ILO project in Ghana, in which ILO partnered with the General Agricultural Workers’ Union (GAWU) of Ghana and the Inland Canoe Fishers’ Association to combat child labour throughout the fish supply chain.

Through this research CPA discovered that one of the main reasons for the high rate of children involved in labour is the lack of awareness and education for the entire community. Many community members do not see the benefits of education, while others judge that it is better for children to work in a trade from a young age, rather than waste their time in school.
