  "summary": "SEND Ghana has called for practical steps to protect children from hazardous work on cocoa farms in Ghana. The organization highlighted the need to identify gaps in policies and enforcement, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding children's rights to education, play, and healthy development. At a national stakeholder dialogue in Accra, Mrs Janet Adama Mohammed, the Board Chair and CEO of SEND Ghana, stressed the need for policies to produce tangible improvements in children's lives, particularly addressing hazardous work such as handling agrochemicals and assisting with cocoa spraying. The dialogue brought together legislators, government officials, and cocoa sector stakeholders to develop measures to translate existing laws into meaningful child protection.",
