Interactive sessions are a new format introduced at the 6th Global Conference to complement the main agenda. These are a smaller, workshop-style sessions of up to 50 participants, designed to promote peer learning, active participation, knowledge sharing and direct engagement among practitioners. 

No agricultural investment programme is neutral with regard to child labour. Even when it is not explicitly included, such a programme can have direct or indirect impacts – positive or negative, intentional or unintended – on children and on the prevalence of child labour. It is therefore essential to integrate a child labour-sensitive approach into agricultural investments and programmes, not only to assess risks and prevent harm but also to strengthen accountability, reinforce safeguarding systems and maximise the positive social impact of interventions.
