1 CLASSE Program Quarterly Report Funded by Purdy s Chocolates Child Labor Alternatives through Sustainable Systems in Education April - June 2010 i
2 Child Labor Alternatives through Sustainable Systems in Education Introductory Overview 1 Purdy s Chocolates and Winrock International are implementing an innovative child labor prevention program that improves educational capacity in cocoa-growing communities in Côte d Ivoire. The Child Labor Alternatives through Sustainable Systems in Education (CLASSE) program improves agricultural knowledge and prevents child labor by increasing access to relevant education for people living in cocoa farming communities. This program goal is met through three target objectives: 1. Agricultural and educational practices are strengthened to support a new generation of farmers who can increase local agricultural productivity and profitability. 2. The awareness of targeted parents, students, club members, and school officials is raised on issues of child labor and educational alternatives to child labor. 3. The policy environment, concerning the issues of education and child labor, is improved. Cocoa plot belonging to a former CLASSE Out-of- School Youth beneficiary in Lapo Purdy s Chocolates work on the CLASSE program is implemented in Côte d Ivoire in the hub of Agboville, and the surrounding communities of Lapo and Gouabo. The quarterly report for January March 2010 welcomed the new field agent and scholarship coordinator to the CLASSE team. The field agent began teaching in-school agriculture classes and worked with local shadow teachers in order to bring the children up to speed on the curriculum. Word spread of the arrival of the new CLASSE field agent, and agriculture club attendance increased significantly as a result. A baseline assessment was implemented in order to assess out of school youth s level of knowledge of agriculture and cocoa farming techniques. Results proved to be high, indicating that the CLASSE program s teachings on modern cocoa farming are being sustainably shared within project communities. 1 Cover Picture: Thanks to the CLASSE Family Support Scholarship, Diby Nabintou, mother of Diaby Moyabi, was able to diversify her business selling children s undergarments to include towels and sponges.

3 The following chart shows overall program targets for the entire three-year program: CLASSE PROGRAM TARGETS In-school vocational education curriculum delivered to 440 primary school students In-school vocational education curriculum delivered to 1600 secondary school students Agriculture training, business training and start-up tool kit delivered to 90 out-of school youth Nine community project organizers 2 are trained in child labor prevention and monitoring, awareness-raising strategies, scholarship selection, and mentoring Ninety scholarships/family support loans awarded to students and their mothers. Three child labor monitoring committees are established in the community Eighteen community-wide sensitization activities are conducted in the community Three summer camps are held reaching between 30 and 50 students each Thirty mothers are trained in small-scale business and agribusiness Two schools are renovated Four out-of-school youth become youth master trainers of cocoa In addition to the aforementioned targets, Winrock also tracks the number of children, youth, and adult community members participating in child labor and HIV-prevention campaigns, the number of youth participating in agriculture clubs, and the number of hybrid cocoa trees planted as a result of the Purdy s Chocolates investment. An OSY tends to the eggplant on the school demonstration plot 2 This target includes project Shadow Teachers, who are tasked with learning the agriculture and life skills curriculum so that they may continue teaching in schools after project close-out. 3

5 Activities accomplished during last period: In-School Agricultural Vocational Classes Though school opened for the new school year only last quarter, and despite all strikes and holidays, the school year has successfully come to an end for most of the secondary school children at the end of this quarter. The Easter holiday took two weeks during the month of April. The primary school has had about three weeks of strikes, which were sometimes longer in some sites. Despite this short time in school, the CLASSE agent managed to cover as many modules as possible and maintained all regular CLASSE activities. Over half of the 27 existing modules were covered. Curriculum modules taught this quarter Module Module Name 5 HIV/AIDS 6 Managing the Ecology 7 Land Selection: Types Of Soil 8 Establishing and Maintaining a Cocoa Nursery 11 Site Preparation: Lining and Pegging 12 Malaria 16 Setting Up a Vegetable Nursery 17 Setting Up a Vegetable Garden 18 Seed Sowing Methods 19 Preparing Planting Beds 20 Vegetable Garden Maintenance 21 Planting Cocoa In the Field 22 Maintaining a Healthy Cocoa Farm 24 Cocoa Pests 27 Vegetable Garden Harvesting A great deal of emphasis was placed on Modules Five and Twelve, HIV/AIDS and malaria sensitization, because the students, like their parents, do not consider them to be the cause of the frequent deaths in their community and instead place the blame on sorcerers. Through the CLASSE program s sensitization of these important issues, beneficiaries are now learning to distinguish between myths and facts that surround HIV/AIDS and malaria. 5
6 The CLASSE program has seen a large number of students who have signed up for the agriculture class this year. With the exception of periods of strikes and vacation, there has been regular attendance in all classes, as in any other class taught in school. Site Total Attendance Agboville 502 Lapo 63 Gouabo 78 Total 643 First eggplants on school demonstration plot in Gouabo The long teachers strikes especially at the elementary level disturbed the program, and the teachers are now trying to make up for lost time, which often goes over into what was formerly agriculture training time. Traditionally, there is an extra hour allotted to extracurricular activities, which was the time that the agent used to do his teaching. Due to the long strikes, the teachers are now using some of that time to catch up on their lessons. The Field Agent is working with school officials and the shadow teachers to ensure that the agriculture lessons stay on track. Thanks to the excellent relationship between the CLASSE field agent and the COGES, we have experienced a great deal of involvement from the school managing committee (COGES) during this quarter. Most notably, the COGES helped clear the school parcels. Besides helping to clear the parcels, the COGES members of Agboville also are present during the trainings and saved funds to pay for minor maintenance on the school parcel. Training for Shadow Teachers and Youth Master Trainers In order to ensure sustainable community ownership and quality teaching methodologies, all shadow teachers and youth master trainers participated in a one week training this quarter. Shadow teachers were able to meet other shadow teachers from surrounding areas as well as teachers from the ECHOES program to exchange best practices and lessons learned. Participants were able to design lesson plans along with audiovisual aids to most effectively reach in-school and out-of-school beneficiaries. According to a survey conducted by the Country Coordinator, the shadow teachers have touched upon 90% of the modules outlined in the curriculum. The field agent has made the training of the youth master trainers and shadow teachers a priority this quarter, in order to continually empower communities to take ownership of the CLASSE project. 6
7 Agboville Agricultural Club In general, the students showed tremendous interest in the activities to such an extent that many students continued to present themselves for the Agriculture Club activities during the teacher and student strikes. This was found to be especially prevalent in Agboville. Agriculture club members from Agboville high school prepare to raise a fence around the school demonstration plot, while students in the background till the soil in preparation for the establishment of seed beds. Since the CLASSE field agent only began at the end of last quarter, most of the agricultural club activities conducted focused on HIV/AIDS, malaria and child labor prevention. The students performed a role play in order for them to better understand and experience life with HIV and dealing with malaria. Many of them had to do research and present the results to their friends in school. The agriculture club has been at work setting up an eggplant nursery this quarter. Students learned how to till and prepare the soil for planting, efficient and safe ways to exterminate existing harmful insects, seed planting, and the importance of shade to protect future plants. After the introduction of the seed beds, thirty eggplant seedlings were transplanted to the vegetable garden. Once the eggplants are ready for harvesting, they will be used either for community consumption, or will be sold in order to generate income for the school. The club has finished fencing in the entire cocoa parcel. After fencing in the parcel, banana trees were planted throughout the parcel in order to provide shade for future cocoa seedlings. The agriculture club continues to plant leguminous trees such as Gliricidia as well as cocoa seedlings throughout the entire plot. The COGES also assisted this quarter by helping clear the school demonstration plot in order for cocoa planting to take place. Agricultural Training with Out-of-School Youth Activities differ from site to site, but in all sites the training was based on the actual planting calendar. In general, the out-of-school youth program this quarter focused on lining and pegging. This quarter the following modules were taught to all OSY in all sites: Land selection: type of soil 7
8 Establishing and maintaining a cocoa nursery Site preparation: Lining and pegging Malaria Setting up a vegetable nursery Setting up a vegetable garden Seed sowing methods Preparing planting beds Vegetable garden maintenance Planting cocoa in the field Maintaining healthy cocoa farm Cocoa pests Vegetable garden harvesting Lapo OSY receive the first part of their agricultural tool kits in order to successfully establish their own cocoa plots. Youth will receive the final part of their tool kits upon successful completion of the program. In order to assist beneficiaries in starting their own cocoa plots, out of school youth received the first tranche of their agricultural tool kits this quarter. The kit included essential items such as machetes, protective boots, sprayers, and protective gear. Those youth who have successfully completed the training program will receive the final portion of their agricultural toolkit at their graduation in September. Satellite Sites Tree Nurseries The field agent was able to successfully locate leguminous trees in order to establish a tree nursery on the edge of the Gouabo school cocoa parcel, and has planned to start with Gliricidia trees. The communities of Lapo and Gouabo have finished clearing the parcels for the tree nurseries. Nursery establishment can begin once the strong rains have passed. The establishment of these tree nurseries is one of the field agent s top priorities, in order to improve the quality of land for the entire community, which is in poor shape due to over farming. Support for Scholarship Beneficiaries In almost all of the cases of students supported by a family support scholarship, they are the first to register in school. According to interviews with school directors, teachers, and parents, the family support scholarship has yielded a positive change in students school results. For some of them, the scholarship helped them acquire their own kerosene or battery powered lamp in order to be able to study, and even a private Agboville Women s Business Training 8
9 tutor. They can also afford to eat regularly at the school canteen. The scholarship coordinator conducted training in Agboville for 30 of the new women beneficiaries, who received their scholarships this quarter. The individual visits conducted by both the agent and the scholarship coordinator indicate that the majority of the new beneficiaries have seen an increased profit in their businesses, while some of them still have to wait until their investments result in a tangible impact in increased revenue. The scholarship coordinator, who was hired toward the end of last quarter, had been busy assessing data on the former women beneficiaries, and also became involved in the selection of the new beneficiaries for this year. The scholarship coordinator works closely with the community Focus Group to monitor and track the scholarship beneficiaries. For example, the Focus Group ensures that all receipts are collected by the mothers, and on occasion, is in charge of buying school materials and supplies in bulk for all student scholarship beneficiaries. Upon receipt of all receipts from the Focus Group, the scholarship coordinator gathers and manages all data in order to follow-up with beneficiaries to ensure that all recommendations are being applied (both for her business as well as her child s education), and to Gouabo Family Support Scholarship beneficiaries participate in women s small business training in Agboville ensure that each scholarship mother is on track for reimbursement of the scholarship. Additionally, in the next quarter we will begin tracking student beneficiaries involvement in out-of-school work to ensure that it is hazard free and age appropriate. This pilot will serve to mitigate child labor in the CLASSE communities, as well as sensitize communities and beneficiaries on the hazardous risks of child labor, and train selected youth on how to monitor child labor activities in their communities. Scholarship Beneficiaries and Family Wellness The family support scholarship, while supporting a child s education and a mother s business, also indirectly supports the well-being of the family. Thanks to the increased profit and expanded business which comes as a result of the scholarship and increased business training, beneficiary mothers are more easily able to provide meat and eggs for children s consumption, access school materials, etc, thereby increasing general family wellness. In addition to the material goods mothers are able to supply to increase their family s quality of life, many FSS beneficiaries also report a higher rate of participation in PTA activities, or a heightened interest of what their children are learning in school. In 9
10 order to analyze the effect the family support scholarship has on family wellness, data concerning family wellness for (Annex 1) and (Annex 2) beneficiaries was collected this period. Overall, the results of the survey, coupled with the interviews done during the scholarship coordinator s monitoring visits, indicate that the family support scholarship is positively impacting ECHOES FSS beneficiaries and their families. For example, 100% of FSS beneficiaries in Agboville reported that their children s uniforms are in good condition, and that their children have a vision for their future, while 90% of beneficiaries reported that their children are rarely tired due to their chores. In Lapo, all beneficiaries are now able to report that their families live in suitable homes and that all their school-aged children are in school. Finally, in Gouabo, 90% of beneficiaries responded that they feel that their children have a vision for their future, and 100% have adequate school shoes. Project Highlight Due to the military and political crisis in Cote d Ivoire, poverty is widespread nationally and in particular for communities living in rural areas. In order to find lasting solutions to the challenges faced by these rural communities, the CLASSE program awards scholarships to women to undertake income generating activities to support their children s education. As a CLASSE beneficiary, Melanie N cho Capo was able to set up a business selling attieke and fish, and was able to use the proceeds from her business to later develop a cassava plot. Thanks to the CLASSE Family Support Scholarship, Melanie is able to send her four children to school. Thanks to the small business training I received, I can understand the challenges associated with managing my business. My husband is very proud of me for helping support our family, and with the profits of my business I intend to diversify my activities very soon. The profits from my business have made it possible for me to take care of my eyesight by investing in a pair of glasses worth 40,000CFA. The other women of the village ask me for lots of advice, especially those beneficiaries who are new to the scholarship program. My life has really changed, and now I can treat myself without relying on my husband. The success of my business is a real victory for me and my family. Many thanks to Purdy s Chocolates and Winrock International. In the future, the CLASSE program seeks to continue to impact family wellness not only by expanding their businesses, but also by encouraging families to actively save profits gained thanks to their expanded businesses. Through savings, parents will be able to learn to put money away for the future of their families, children, and businesses, rather than living day-to-day. 10
11 Other Activities o The agriculture classroom door has been fixed in Agboville. o The field agent was able to take advantage of the summer vacation to intensify visits to the current and previous out-of-school youth beneficiaries cocoa parcels in Gouabo and Lapo. A few parcels of prior beneficiaries are already bearing pods, which indicate a probable harvest by next quarter. o The field agent is planning to set up a tree nursery in the satellites in order to assist the majority of beneficiaries who have inherited overused land from their parents. o Shadow teachers and Youth Master Trainers in all sites are quite active and essential to the implementation of the CLASSE program, as the field agent has encountered difficulty reaching the villages due to poor road conditions during the rainy season. Challenges this Quarter Maintaining regular attendance of out of school youth, especially in Gouabo, has been challenging due to the national shortage of hybrid cocoa. As a solution, we have decided to assist them in setting up a communal plot with a crop of their choice. Weather conditions make satellite communities sometimes unreachable by car and motorcycle, making monitoring difficult for the Country Coordinator and teaching lessons difficult for the Field Agent. In an effort to address this challenge, Shadow Teachers and Focus Groups have assisted in providing support to our activities which has given them excellent practice teaching opportunities. The field agent s motorcycle is broken beyond repair, which means that in order to reach his communities, the agent must walk or pay a car to take him to project sites. Even cars will not venture all the way to communities as the road condition is so poor and the Field Agent must still walk several kilometers. This is a hindrance to the program, especially because this is a season where the youth need more assistance in setting up their own farms. We are brainstorming to find a solution to this problem, and again are counting on the support of the Youth Master Trainers and Shadow Teachers when the field agent is unable to visit sites. We are in the process of providing a motorbike. Internet problems are more recurrent during the rainy season and have meant limited access and communication. Resourcefulness has been imperative during these situations in order to continue to provide information and frequent reporting. 11

13 Spotlight Story Hope comes to Alain N'Guessan after CLASSE Training in Cocoa Production Techniques As for most youth his age, the exodus from rural areas to large cities in search of a better tomorrow seemed the only alternative for Alain N'Guessan of Lapo. In many cases, however, this supposed solution is only an illusion. To overcome this massive displacement and find durable solutions, the CLASSE project helps to strengthen the capacity of school youth through programs focusing on agricultural and life skills development in their communities. One of the objectives of the program is to make available rural mass production and modern farm management techniques to local youth and adults. Upon seeing the precarious situation in which he lived, Alain resolutely decided to enroll in the CLASSE program to change his life, as well as the life of his family. As one of the original out of school youth, the CLASSE program has helped shape who Alain is today; thanks to his experiences, he is now a respected shadow teacher and community leader in his village. When he was a student in high school in 1995 at the Lycée Moderne Agboville, the young Alain N'Guessan had decided to abandon his studies for professional football. "The day I committed myself to play football at the expense of my studies, my father decided to no longer provide for my needs. I played in several second division clubs without success until 2000 when I returned to the village to farm my parents land. When I arrived, I planted a cocoa parcel, but as I did not follow the standards for modern cocoa-growing technology, I harvested only 15 kg of cocoa last year. "I was forced to cultivate large areas of cassava to feed my family and seek temporary contracts such as cleaning cocoa and cassava plots of other people in the village in order to meet the needs of my children." "The day Winrock International arrived in my village and explained that they came to offer a brighter future for the young people of my village with the CLASSE project sponsored by Purdy's Chocolates, I was among the first people to register. After the training I received from the CLASSE project, I put my field in place, and 12 months later, after putting into practice the techniques taught to me by the CLASSE field agent, I could see a clear difference between my first and last plots. At the one-year mark, my cocoa was already taller than me. Alain explains how he has benefitted from the CLASSE program s focus on modern cocoa farming techniques 13
14 The CLASSE program has impacted Alain s family in more than just cocoa-farming, however. Alain s wife and child were selected as beneficiaries of the family support scholarship offered by CLASSE that promotes child education as well as a mother s small business development. The profits from Alain s wife s small business have had a significant impact on the quality of life of the entire family. My wife initially began her business by selling coal. She is able to use the profits of her business to buy bags of rice in town and later sell them in the village. Each bag sold has a profit margin of 3500CFA. As a family, we have used some of these profits to educate and care for our children while we wait for the production of my plot that I have put in place through CLASSE. It is worth noting that our family has experienced a positive change because now we are able to adequately care for our family with the benefits of our incomegenerating activities. Our children go to school Alain s wife sells rice bags purchased with the profits of her coal-selling business properly, their eating habits have changed enormously, and they are even betterbehaved than before. "In light of my living conditions beginning to improve, I decided to educate the youth of my community in the same activities that CLASSE taught me." Alain now assists the CLASSE field agent particularly during his classes at the primary schools. When out of school youth have problems, they seek Alain s advice if the field agent has not yet arrived. The CLASSE field agent encourages the out of school youth to follow Alain s counsel as a way to empower Alain as a resource for the community as well as promote community-ownership of the project. Thanks to his CLASSE training, Alain is very influential in the village. "I want to say thank you to Purdy s Chocolates and Winrock International for giving me hope. I wish that this project stays longer in my village so all out of school youth may acquire the same knowledge that I did which will empower them to improve their economic situation themselves. 14
