The toolkit was developed in 2021/22. It was developed in parallel with and in sync with the OPCS Child Labor Operations Note on Child Labor in the Agriculture Sector. The toolkit was developed with the overall purpose of helping project teams to effectively manage child labor risk in the project cycle, by taking a coherent and comprehensive approach to the project cycle and building in appropriate prevention, mitigation, and remediation measures in project design and safeguards instruments and processes. Each of the components of the toolkit provides a starter for managing child labor risk comprehensively in projects. Several of the components have the potential to be further expanded with additional tools and guidance in the future. As such, the current toolkit provides a framework within which additional tools and guidance can be organized and also represents the beginning of a learning agenda for the World Bank in West Africa that can be progressively built over time. The objectives of this toolkit are four-fold: Help operationalize ESF in the project cycle, especially with regard to child labor risks and in the context of Ghana’s specific situation and legal frameworks; Help with categorization of projects according to risks related to child labor; Provide a menu of options for managing risks related to child labor; Provide tools and guidance for the contents of various risk-management options.
