PACE is a ground-breaking partnership of private sector, academic, media development and civil society organisations working together to combat the exploitation of children in the worst forms of child labour. Operating in three African countries – Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ethiopia – the PACE programme aims to identify the most effective strategies to combat the exploitation of children in the worst forms of child labour, through a range of initiatives.
Leveraging the power of the media to raise awareness of the damaging effects of child labour on children, by supporting high-quality journalism, is one of these initiatives.
