Ghana’s Portfolio-Wide Child Labor Risk Management Pilot

This note summarizes a systematic approach developed in 2021-2023 by the Social Sustainability and Inclusion (SSI) team of the Ghana Country Management Unit (CMU) to strengthen the management of child labor risk in the portfolio of projects of the CMU. The approach evolved from two processes, namely a portfolio-wide risk mitigation assessment on child labor that identified a potential to strengthen how child labor risk is managed in multiple projects of the CMU portfolio, and the subsequent development of a toolkit to help teams and Project Implementation Units (PIUs) take a systemic approach to how they manage risks related to child labor in projects. The outcomes of these processes were presented to selected managers and professionals in the World Bank and underwent a peer review in 2022. This has been followed by a series of trainings for Project Implementation Units in Ghana in 2022 and 2023, as well as bank-wide dissemination meetings and trainings. The work continues in 2024.
