Fighting Against Child Labour and Child Trafficking is one of the important issue of CAPEC
Fight against Child Labour
One of the important issues CAPEC deals with is the eradication of child labour in Cameroon especially in the rural areas and the agro- industrial; complexes of Delmonte and CDC. CAPEC seeks to use education, advocacy and reinsertion strategies to sensitize target populations and bring about a system of sustainable livelihoods for these children and their families in the labourers camps. This requires collaboration from the local communities, the government, partner organisations and the companies concerned.
Aside of the work we have accomplished in many rural; areas, we have also carried out a joint fact finding mission with the American Embassy in Cameroon on child labour issues at Delmonte plantation facilities in the South West Province of Cameroon. We have designed a strategy for the eradication of this practice at Delmonte and for the reinsertion of the target children in mainstream society.
We are currently transforming our Volunteers for Development project into a viable and sustainable programme which is going to be effective within the framework of the Challenges and Cultures of Cameroon.
