Every child identified, followed until they exit.

Data4Child is Sankora's child labour monitoring and remediation system (CLMRS). Your agents collect data in the field, even without network; every case is classified automatically, assigned to an agent and followed until the child has durably left work or risk.

Buyers

Buyers and sustainability programmes ask for evidence of child monitoring, not statements.

EUDR

The EU regulation also requires production to comply with the country's legislation, labour law included.

Field

Without a tool, paper forms get lost and identified cases are no longer followed.

Data4Child in action

From the household visit to the child's exit, nothing gets lost.

A form collected without network, a case classified in seconds, a child followed for months: this is how Data4Child supports your teams.

The agent fills in the survey in the household, offline. The form is signed by the phone and sent as soon as the network is back.

Key features

Eight reasons to choose Data4Child.

Each feature is shown with a real screen of the application.

Android data collection, even offline : Field officers see their visits and delays. Forms are sent automatically as soon as the network is back.
The officer's position, shown on the plot : During the plantation visit, the phone shows the plot and the officer's position: inside the plot, or how many metres away. The server recomputes the distance of every form.
Every form checked: location, duration, signature : Start and end GPS position, accuracy, entry time, phone signature: a spoofed location or a rushed form is blocked.
Guided questionnaires, checked answers : Questions to read out, mandatory answers checked on the phone: an incomplete form is never sent.
Secured phones : Encrypted data, unlock code, phone approved by the supervisor and remotely wiped if lost.
Every officer sees their performance : Forms sent, phase coverage, timely follow-ups and error-free forms, compared with the team average.
Targets and officer reports : Supervisors set targets for each campaign phase and track each officer's pace and quality.
Every child followed until they exit : From the household page, officers find identified children, their case and the next follow-up due.

How Data4Child works, in detail

Reliable data

A Data4Child form is evidence.

Who collected it, where, when, on which phone: every form carries its guarantees, checked by the platform on receipt.

Collection position

Position recorded at the start and end of every form, compared with the agent's assigned area.

Simulated positions detected

Apps that fake the position are detected and the form is flagged.

Signed by the phone

Every form is signed with a key unique to the phone: it cannot be altered without the platform noticing.

Registered phones

The phone identifier (IMEI) is declared, then approved by the manager before any data is sent.

Required fields

An incomplete form is not sent: the answers used to classify the child are mandatory.

One agent, their farmers

Each agent sees only the farmers in their area; another agent can sign in only once the previous agent's forms are sent.

Managing and assessing agents

Set targets, follow the field, assess on facts.

The CLMRS manager organises the season, assigns targets and measures each agent's performance from the forms actually collected.

Assigned targets

The season is split into dated phases. In each phase, the agent's target is to cover all of their farmers.

Pace recalculated

Every day, Data4Child works out the number of visits needed from what remains and the time available.

Collection map

The positions of each agent's forms appear on the map of their area: actual visits, routes, gaps.

Performance reports

Coverage, pace, forms to review, follow-up deadlines met: one report per agent, frozen at the end of each phase.

Controlled extensions

A phase ends on its date for the whole team; the manager can extend it for a specific agent.

Two role levels

The manager sees all statistics and all agents; each agent sees their own dashboard and farmers.

How a season runs

A complete method, from the community to the child.

Data4Child follows the steps of a monitoring and remediation system: each step has its form, its agent and its deadline.

  1. 01

    Community profile

    A profile of each community, at the start of the season.

  2. 02

    Awareness

    Sessions in the localities assigned to each agent.

  3. 03

    Household survey

    Identification of working children or children at risk.

  4. 04

    Child interview

    Triggered by the survey, the child is registered with their household.

  5. 05

    Plantation visit

    Observation of working conditions on the plot.

  6. 06

    Remediation

    Support for the child, the household or the community.

  7. 07

    Follow-up

    Visits until exit, then a one-year check.

Classification and deadlines

The right action, at the right time.

Every case is classified automatically by the core questionnaire rules. The level sets the pathway and the deadlines, which Data4Child monitors for you.

  • Immediate risk: emergency report and action within 24 hours
  • Confirmed child labour: awareness within 1 month, support within 6 months, follow-ups until two negative visits
  • Child at risk: awareness within 3 months, support within 1 year
  • Nothing to report: reassessment within 1 to 2 years
  • Support for the child, the household or the community, with proof of delivery
Questionnaires

A common core, adapted to each cooperative.

Kaada Group provides the core questionnaires and their classification rules. Each cooperative can add its own questions, but never remove those that identify children.

  • Eight clearly named forms, from the community profile to the emergency report
  • Questions added by the cooperative: information only, no effect on classification
  • New core questionnaire versions applied from a set date, for new forms
  • Managers notified before every change
Field team

Guided agents, measured coverage.

The CLMRS manager splits the season into dated phases. Each agent sees their farmers, their progress and the pace needed to cover their whole area.

  • Farmers assigned by area: each agent sees only their own
  • Target per phase: cover all of the agent's farmers
  • Daily or weekly pace recalculated from what remains
  • Performance reports frozen at the end of each phase
Statistics

Useful figures, without exposing children.

The cooperative has the named detail it needs to act. Its partners receive anonymous statistics, hidden when counts are too small.

  • Households covered, children identified, children supported, successful exits
  • Follow-up deadlines met and share of children still out after one year
  • Named detail restricted to the CLMRS manager and management
  • Detail shared with an exporter only if the cooperative turns it on
Who runs the system

The cooperative, or its exporter.

One operator per cooperative, to avoid duplicate visits in the field.

The cooperative runs it

It takes the module and runs the season with its own agents. Its partner exporter always sees the overall statistics; named detail is shared only if the cooperative turns it on.

The exporter runs it for its cooperatives

When a cooperative has no system, the exporter deploys its own agents in its partner cooperatives and manages the whole programme.

Data protection

Children's data handled with the utmost care.

Data4Child applies strict rules, on the phone as on the platform.

Locked phones

Encrypted local database, unlock code, remote wipe if lost or stolen.

Authenticated forms

Every form is signed by the registered phone that produced it, with its collection position.

Restricted access

Children's names are visible only to the CLMRS manager and the organisation's management.

Nothing left behind

Photos and signatures are removed from the phone as soon as their upload is confirmed.

Data4Child builds on Sankora.

Households, farmers and plots come from the Sankora register: nothing is re-keyed, and your EUDR compliance files can draw on your child labour monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

What we are asked most often.

Do you need an internet connection in the field?
No. The Android app works without network. Forms stay on the phone, encrypted, and are sent automatically as soon as a connection is available. The agent always sees what has been sent and what remains.
Can the questionnaire be adapted?
Yes. Each cooperative can add its own questions. The questions that identify children and their classification rules stay common, so results remain comparable.
Who sees children's data?
Named detail is restricted to the CLMRS manager and the management of the organisation running the system. Partners receive anonymous statistics, with small counts hidden.
Which phones are needed?
Android 8 or later. Each phone is registered, then approved by the manager before it receives any data.
Does Data4Child work without Sankora?
Data4Child is a Sankora module: it uses the register of farmers, households and plots. It is activated for a cooperative or an exporter, depending on who runs the system.
How is Data4Child priced?
As a module of the Sankora subscription, based on the number of farmers covered. The quote is prepared after the demo.
