FAQs
What am I expected to do?
We expect stakeholders and individuals to take a meaningful and realistic action in 2021.
Can individuals submit a 2021 Action Pledge if they are also part of an organization?
Yes, we encourage action at the individual level as well, though the individual is responsible for completing their pledge.
Can companies submit 2021 Action Pledges?
Yes, all companies can submit a pledge. If you are a member of the Child Labour Platform or Global Network on Forced Labour, please reach out to your focal point before submitting a 2021 Action Pledge so the relevant Secretariat can support you in identifying and then communicating about your pledge.
Can stakeholders submit more than one 2021 Action Pledge?
Each stakeholder should submit one pledge, however, they can still take action beyond what they pledge. The idea of making a single pledge is so that stakeholders can commit to completing it in 2021. Organizations with subsidiaries can submit 2021 Action Pledges that are separate, but, at the global level, organizations should select only one pledge that represents the most ambitious yet achievable contribution they can make and communicate about. For example, Save the Children International and Save the Children UK can each submit 2021 Action Pledges separately, although we encourage internal coordination and collaboration to prevent overlap.
Can we change our 2021 Action Pledge after submission?
If you want to change the name of your 2021 Action Pledge, or the party responsible for implementation, please contact us at 2021@alliance87.org. No new submissions will be accepted after 30 March 2021.
What if a stakeholder is unable to achieve their 2021 Action Pledge by 30 December 2021?
We understand circumstances change, and this is a voluntary commitment. However, we encourage stakeholders to share their experiences, even if they are not successful.
How are the pledges monitored?
Stakeholder 2021 Action Pledges will be monitored throughout the year to encourage the completion of the pledge by the end of 2021, however, the main way to show progress is through sharing content and by following the monthly Practical Guidance for the Inspire pillar. Monitoring will entail filling out a few questions about your progress in June and November 2021.
How do we communicate about our pledge?
Stakeholders and individuals are encouraged to produce content every month to share the journey of their pledge. See the Practical Guide for suggestions on how you can communicate. We also ask that stakeholders and individuals post this content on social media with the hashtag #EndChildLabour2021.
