Evaluation of Youth Inclusive Community-Based Monitoring and Remediation System on Child Labour (YICBMR) as implemented by Belize Sugar Cane Farmers Association (BSCFA)

The purpose of this study was to assess the work undertaken by the Belize Sugar Cane Farmers Association (BSCFA) to establish Fairtrade’s Youth-Inclusive Community-Based Monitoring and Remediation System on Child Labour (YICBMR) to identify and respond to issues concerning child and youth wellbeing, including child labour, in its sugarcane producing communities. The approach was first piloted by the organization in 2015, and has since expanded to cover all of BSCFA’s sugar growing areas. The independent study was commissioned by Fairtrade International and prepared by Elke de Buhr, PhD.
