Child Rights in Madagascar
Madagascar continues to face significant child rights challenges, particularly in rural areas where poverty, limited access to education and informal employment increase children's vulnerability to child labour, including the worst forms of child labour. Children are engaged in sectors including agriculture, mining and other informal industries, with hazardous work remaining a concern in some supply chains. Companies sourcing from Madagascar are increasingly expected to understand and address these risks as part of their human rights due diligence (HRDD) responsibilities.
Supporting You in Madagascar
The Centre helps companies identify, assess and address human rights and child rights risks in their operations and supply chains in Madagascar. We conduct human rights and child rights risk and impact assessments to help businesses understand their actual and potential impacts, prioritise risks and strengthen their HRDD processes.
To date, we have carried out child rights assessments in the mica supply chain, human rights impact assessments in the clove sector, and targeted child labour assessments and Child-Friendly Spaces baseline assessments. While our experience in Madagascar has focused on these industries, we are available to support companies operating in any sector.
Working with local partners and experienced consultants, we deliver practical, context-specific solutions that help businesses strengthen responsible sourcing practices, meet evolving due diligence expectations and improve outcomes for children and communities.
