Abstract

This article explores the implementation of Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour in the mining sector in Burkina Faso. It highlights key lessons from a project funded by DFID and Save the Children UK and implemented by COBUFADE, a Burkinabe NGO. Children were found to be important and capable actors in the fight against child labour, notably in research and lobbying, and the article explores the role that civil society can play in taking local voices to national policy makers and in linking the different actors implicated in Convention 182.Leslie Groves is a social anthropologist and works as an independent social development consultant. She has worked with child workers in Brazil, Tanzania, and Vietnam, and has reviewed the Convention 182 process in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, and Honduras. An article of hers on the experience in Honduras, titled ‘Implementing ILO Child Labour Convention 182: Lessons from Honduras’, appeared in Development in Practice 14(1&2) (February 2004).
