Deadline Extended to Enter the International Elimination of Child Labour Changemaker Award

Entries for the International Elimination of Child Labour Changemaker Award will be accepted until 13 October 2023.

The International Elimination of Child Labour Changemaker Award spotlights employers’ and business organisations’ key role in eradicating child labour. From engaging with policymakers, and influencing labour market frameworks to reaching and collaborating with companies of all sizes, employers’ organisations contribute to raising awareness, building capacity and organising collective actions.

The Award strives to promote peer learning and best practices, focus attention on the private sector’s contributions, and recognise publicly the extraordinary efforts of the private sector to combat child labour.

The competition is open to more than 150 IOE member employer organisations and companies worldwide. The winner will be featured across the digital platforms of several international organisations along with an opportunity to present their innovation initiatives during a high-level event.

The winner will be selected by a panel of judges who are experts in child rights and child labour. They will judge each entry using the following criteria:

1. Achieving the six focus objectives in the Durban Call to Action
2. Demonstrating a positive and effective impact on eliminating child labour
3. Providing sustainable solutions

More information on the eligibility and submission requirements is available in the concept note in the "Resources" section and on our Child Labour page.
