Abstract

Child labour remains a significant issue in Kenya's agricultural sector, particularly affecting rural areas where families rely on agriculture for livelihoods. Qualitative data collection methods were employed, including interviews with stakeholders, focus group discussions, and document review. Findings indicate that the interventions led to a reduction in child labour rates by an average of 15% across the case study areas. The findings suggest that targeted community-based initiatives can effectively reduce child labour in rural agricultural settings. Further research should explore scalability and sustainability of these interventions, while policymakers could consider replicating successful models in other regions.
