The programme is replicating such initiatives in 18 tea and coffee plantations selected on the basis of earlier surveys. Sensitization on child labour is being followed up by dialogue and the introduction of protective strategies. Other collaborating institutions are the Organization of Tanzania Trade Unions, the Tea Association of Tanzania, the Tanzania Coffee Growers Association, the Tanganyika Association of Agricultural Employers, and the Ministry of Labour and Youth Development. By March 1999, nine estates had been surveyed by ATE and positive results were already emerging. Both ATE and IPEC are contributing funds.
IPEC contributions cover items such as workshops, transport and travel costs.
Identify four coffee plantations in the Arusha area. Organize a sensitization seminar in each of the 18 plantations. Develop strategies with owners, managers and supervisors for combating child labour. Draw up plans of action for each of the 18 platnations on prevention and withdrawal. Organize a mid-programme review workshop in each plantation.
