In line with “Upgrading the Technical Agriculture Education System in Lebanon OSRO/601/LEB/NET” FAO project’s Strategic Objectives SO3: "Reduce rural poverty" and SO5: “Increase the resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises”, FAO prepared - with the support and collaboration of AVSI and WARD and based on ILO/FAO publication entitled “ Child Labor in Agriculture in Lebanon - A guide for workers in agriculture"- this digital material for the online Accelerated Agricultural Vocational Trainings, based on the Accelerated Vocational Training Curriculum for Lebanese and non-Lebanese Youth (aged 14 to 25 years old).
This curriculum aims to train young people and acquaint them with the areas related to workers’ occupational health and safety.
Improving occupational safety and health and eliminating children's exposure to hazardous work enables agricultural producers to legally employ young people from 14 to 17 years of age. And thus, this course will prepare youth to enter the agricultural labor market aware and knowledgeable about the safety measures they need to take, especially that this age group is considered among children (until the age of 18 years).
