Outcome 2: Improved practices by government and private sector actors to reduce vulnerability of women and girls of legal working age to child labor, forced labor, and other violations of labor rights within the agricultural sector. The project must work within the agricultural sector in sugarcane, including unrefined brown sugar (panela), and in cut flowers in one or more of the following geographical areas: Antioquia, Boyacá, Cundinamarca, Santander, and/or Valle del Cauca. The duration of the project will be a maximum of four years (48 months) from the effective date of the award.
