President for the association, Annie Chavula, told journalists in Blantyre that the association has discovered that the use of corporate social responsibility (CSR) was a tool that could eliminate child labour in the country.

“We are therefore, calling upon the employers in the corporate world to willingly make the commitment and pledge on supporting activities to address the root causes of child labour and support the prevention of children from being engaged in child labour through the memorandum of understandings, private-public partnerships that addresses educational communities,”she said.

Chavula said while significant progress has been made in reducing child labour over the past years, the progress has been slowed due to poor participation of the corporate world at the grassroot level.

Among others, Chavula disclosed that the association has discovered that the child labour was still rampant in the districts where tobacco and tea were grown in the country, therefore, interventions have been employed to address such malpractices in those districts.

She said the association has been implementing a twenty one month accelerating action for the elimination of child labour_Africa project in those districts aimed at addressing the vice.

” We are targeting five districts in the country such as Thyolo, Mulanje, Mzimba, Ntchisi and chitipa where the worst forms of all child labour are being practised. We also intends to promote adopting a school program amongst its affiliates,” said Chavula

According to her, through the ACCEL project, Ecam has reviewed and updated the employers code of conduct in the elimination of child labour, and employers guide in the elimination of child, as well as developed a training manual for employers which have trained several employers.

On the other hand, Chavula disclosed that her association will once again this year award employers that have displayed best practises and eliminate child labour in the country.

Current global statistics indicate that 160 million children are still engaged in child labour _some as young as 5 years.

Child labour is widespread in Malawi with the most recent national labour survey (NCLS 2015),showing that 38 percent of children aged 5_17 are involved in child labour.

The employers consultative association of Malawi (ECAM) was established to promote, protect and give guide the interest of employers in the country under labour relations Act of 1996.
