About

The Department for International Development awarded a contract to the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) for the Action on Children's Harmful Work in African Agriculture (ACHA) programme, valued at £9,999,309.

The programme aimed to improve the design and targeting of policies and interventions addressing harmful work done by children in African agriculture, creating conditions for children to thrive and avoid misguided actions that worsen working conditions.

Its ultimate impacts were a reduction in the number of children in harmful work and prevention of future harmful children's work in African agriculture, contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 8.7 and the elimination of child labour by 2025.

The programme also sought to unlock a demographic dividend in Africa by facilitating conditions for children and youth to reach their potential.
