Training on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) for Girls and Boys Engaged in Agricultural Work– PROSPECTS Project

Background
Plan International Lebanon (PIL) in partnership with its local partner, René Moawad Foundation
(RMF) has kicked-off the implementation of the Prevention and Elimination of Child Labour in
Agriculture project in Akkar, Baalbek Al Hermel and Bekaa governorates, under PROSPECTS
Program funded by ILO. The project started in July 2025 for a duration of 14 months.
The aim of the project is to reduce the Worst Forms of Child Labour (WFCL) in agriculture in
Akkar, Bekaa, and Baalbek-Hermel, through a multi-sectoral approach that addresses both
immediate protection needs and structural socio-economic drivers of child laborer’s and their
households.
Under this project; PIL are aiming at implementing an intervention for improving occupational
safety and health (OSH) practices among children aged 14–17 involved in light, age-appropriate
agricultural tasks. These children, although above the legal minimum working age, remain
vulnerable to workplace hazards due to informal and small-scale farm environments.

and Health OSH training to 100 children aged 14–17 involved in light, age-appropriate
agricultural tasks.

of children in agriculture in the governorates of Bekaa, Baalbek and Akkar.

C155 - Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155) and P155 - Protocol
of 2002 to the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981
