Today is the abstract deadline for @paaclaind Indonesia's 2026 conference on business and children's rights.
Research and practical experience can strengthen due diligence and child labour prevention across value chains.
What does the transition from ECLT to ECLA mean for our work on child labour in agriculture? Keep following @ecltfoundation as we explain the change and continue sharing programme, partnership and advocacy updates.
