ABSTRACT
Project sustainability on eliminating child labour in cocoa growing areas in Ghana has received less attention. Issues confronting sustainability have rendered most projects not meeting project goals and needs of future generations. This study therefore assessed the sustainability of OASIS Foundation International child labour monitoring system project in Twifo Hemang LowerDenkyira District, Central Region in Ghana. Survey design was employed to select 130 household whose member(s) was/were beneficiaries of the project. Content validated and pretested interview schedule was used to collect data, which was analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential such as Pearson product-moment correlation, Friedman rank test and multiple linear regression. The results revealed that the project was generally less sustainable; though the various dimensions used showed different levels of sustainability ranging from unsustainable to very sustainable. Levels of satisfaction, number of dependants, children less than 15 years, number of children in school and use of soap making skills were significantly related to social, economic, technical and institutional sustainability. Furthermore, children in school and use of soap making skills significantly influenced the sustainability of the project. The study recommends, among other things, increased efforts of development agencies and government parastatals by providing appropriate skills and resources to ensure economic, technical and institutional sustainability of such interventions. Government of Ghana should also ensure timely supply of school materials to increase enrolment and retention of pupils in these and other communities with similar projects.
