## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) has awarded the DFID 8566 Action on Children's Harmful Work in African Agriculture (ACHA) contract, valued at £9,999,309. This procurement falls under the industry category of foreign economic-aid-related services and is set to commence on 6th January 2020, lasting until 5th January 2027. The procurement was executed through a selective process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 14th June 2019, and further details regarding supplier registration can be found on the DFID Supplier Portal.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses aiming to expand their operations in the area of child welfare and agricultural development. Companies that specialise in social impact services, particularly those with experience in developing policies and interventions for vulnerable populations, would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suitable given their agility and focus on social issues, which aligns with the objectives of this contract and the Sustainable Development Goals.

## Notice

The outcomes will be that policies and interventions are better designed and targeted at the forms of harmful work children do in African agriculture and how to effectively create conditions for children to thrive. This will avoid misguided actions that worsen working conditions and prospects for children. The ultimate impacts will be a reduction in the number of children in harmful work and the prevention of future harmful children's work in African agriculture. This will contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 8.7 and the elimination of child labour by 2025. The programme will facilitate the creation of conditions for children and youth to thrive and reach their potential, which will contribute to the unlocking of a demographic dividend in Africa.
