Manjari and Beltrami’s suppliers participate in the multi-stakeholder forum on the natural stone sector in Rajasthan (by ETI and ARAVALI).

Tanganda Tea Estates are situated in the Chipinge District of Zimbabwe, in the east of the country bordering Mozambique. The area is sloppy with undulating slopes that are suitable for the growing of tea and macadamia nuts. The rainfall pattern is good and reliable, with above-average annual rainfall. The majority of the people in the area are poor and cannot afford to send their children to government and council schools because they cannot afford the school fees charged by these schools. Most adults in the area work as farm labourers on the estates, alongside their children who also work to receive some education from the seven schools the company has built for the children.

SCL partner SAVE works in the two wards in Tirupur in the garment sector. Tirupur is one of the largest garment export centres. More than 6,500 industrial units operate in Tirupur with 700,000 factory workers. Most of the garments are exported to Europe and North America. The two wards in which SAVE works have 18,507 inhabitants, of whom 5,014 are children under 18 years of age. A large percentage of these are migrant workers. Our partner Manjari works in Budhpura which has a population of 6,972. It is a major source of cob- blestones, which are mainly sold on the Belgian, northern French, British and Dutch markets. Product export is the central focus in the village of Budhpura. A large number of children aged between 6 and 14 are out of school in the quarrying area. Many of them are involved in cobblestone making, whether on a part-time or full-time basis. SCL partner BWI is in the process of selecting its areas to concentrate the interventions to create CLFZ in Jodhpur and Jaisalmer districts. Jodhpur district has 432 mining leases and Jaisalmer has 684 quarry leases with each quarry employing 10 to 20 workers.

FIRST ANNUAL REPORT: OUT OF WORK AND INTO SCHOOL 20 Delays: No delays have been encountered and the India programme is on track.

Networking: Networking and coalition-building are very important in India, although they are often very difficult and sensitive due to the diverse contexts and cultural and traditional differences. However, a strong SCL coalition is desired in order to get the CLFZ concept higher on the Indian political agenda, as it currently tends to be done on an individual basis at District and State level.

FIRST ANNUAL REPORT: OUT OF WORK AND INTO SCHOOL 21 Mali

In Mali, SCL partner Enda works in 2 areas: 1) in Ségou, and; 2) in Bougouni in the small-scale gold mines. The programme in Segou is focused on 4 communes which have a total of 68 villages and a population of approximately 157,640 inhabitants. The main activities in this area are agriculture, cat- tle-breeding and fishing. The programme in Bougouni focuses on 3 communes: Kola, Ouroum and Syentoula. In total this encompasses 27 villages with a total population of 22,812. The area is known for its gold-mining industry, which is also linked to large patterns of migration in the region.

The NGO CAEB covers the Municipalities of Kemeni in the cercle5 of Bla, and Wacoro in the cercle of Dioïla, located in Ségou and Koulikoro regions respectively. The focus is on the production areas of sesame and shea butter.

The project carried out by NGO Alphalog is taking place in 8 communes in the cercle of Niono, and 2 communes in the cercle of Macina. The activities related to the CLFZ will take place in 5 villages in the commune of Yèrèdon Saniona, in the cercle of Niono.

Based on the first experience with the reporting tools that have now been developed, an assessment will be carried out to determine whether these tools need further adjustments or whether new tools should be developed. The aim is that all these efforts combined will provide insights in the effectiveness and impact of the SCL programme, both during its implementation and at its end, and that all partners are able to learn (and improve!) from both successes and failures along the way.
