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.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOCHILD LABORCHILD DEVELOPMENTLABOR AND EMPLOYMENTLAWS AND REGULATIONSCHILD LABOR AND EDUCATIONLABOR CONTRACTSDECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTHSDG 8PEACE, JUSTICE AND STRONG INSTITUTIONSSDG 16BriefWorld Bank10.1596/41555
