Challenge 1: Digital information systems (global)
What is the goal?
Digital information systems facilitate collaborative work to end child labour, forced labour and human trafficking.

Challenge 2: Skills and lifelong learning (Africa)
What is the goal?
Skills and lifelong learning prevent child labour – and a breakthrough in Africa would be a major accomplishment.
What will I do?
Help provide vulnerable workers with adequate skills and raise awareness about the forms and risks of child labour. This way, we can prevent and protect them from situations of child labour, enhance their employability and reduce their vulnerability to income shocks.
