No agricultural investment programme is neutral with regard to child labour. Even when not explicitly included, such programmes can have direct or indirect repercussions – positive or negative, intentional or unintentional – 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 prevent harm, but also to strengthen accountability, consolidate protection systems and maximise the positive social impact of interventions.
