Article title: Implementing ILO Child Labour Convention 182: lessons from the gold mining sector in Burkina Faso
Author: Leslie Groves
Issue:

Volume 15, Number 1 - February 2005


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.
