Abstract

Fabrizio Terenzio shares his thoughts on how working children have been participating in African development over the last 20 years. He argues that the sheer number of children in Africa makes them key stakeholders in economic, social and political contexts in the continent. He underlines that the success and sustainability of children's livelihoods and development depends largely on their participation.

Keywords:

Africa, convention of the rights of the child, participation, children's rights, tradition
