Sub-Saharan Africa
Meaningful Efforts:
- Made publicly available information about labor law enforcement efforts, including worksite inspections targeting high risk sectors for child labor.
- Created new government agencies mandated to coordinate efforts to address child labor.
- Formed partnerships with non-governmental and civil society organizations to increase monitoring of sectors at high risk for child labor and address specialized challenges, such as labor migration.
Challenges and Existing Gaps:
- Limited resources and authority to monitor the informal sector, leaving children working in this sector unprotected.
- Continued recruitment of children into armed conflict.
- Lack of access to birth registration and other national documentation, limiting children’s access to education and social protection programs.
