DFID will be hosting an Early Market Engagement Event to provide potential suppliers with an opportunity to learn about a call on researching children’s harmful work in African agri-food systems. This is a prior information notice (PIN) only: publication and call for competition will be conducted once the scope of work is fully defined and approved.

The Early Market Engagement Event will provide information on the proposed programme, feedback, and networking opportunities with the aim of forming consortiums. This event will be held on Wednesday 22nd August at 14:00-17:00 in DFID’s headquarters at 22 Whitehall, London, SW1A 2EG.

This research programme intends to improve the evidence base on forms, drivers, and experiences of harmful children’s work, and effective ways to enable children to flourish in the context of increasing commercialisation of African agri-food systems.
