This document outlines the goals, methodology, implementation, and capacity building activities of a survey research project on child labor in cocoa growing areas of West Africa. The goals are to 1) calculate baseline estimates of child labor in cocoa production, 2) conduct nationally representative child labor surveys in 2013/2014, and 3) report differences from 2008/2009 estimates. The methodology involves stratified multi-stage cluster sampling to interview 800 households and stakeholders in 40 clusters. The survey will be implemented in close partnership with research institutions in host countries and governments. Capacity building workshops will train decision makers and technical staff on survey design, data analysis, and monitoring to improve local capacity.
