This chapter traces, in the first section, the political and legal histories of the anti-child labor regimes in sub-Saharan Africa. This is to demonstrate that the discourse on the need for robust national plans or policies to combat the worst forms of child labor is supported by regional institutional and legal advancements, which fall within a broader, multidimensional international human rights regime. It is this argument that provides the basis for the second section, which addresses the politics of re-affirmation of the global child protection regime brought by the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. We examine, using frame theory, the country-level advances in the elimination of the worst forms of child labor. We scrutinize the national plans of five sub-Saharan African countries–—selected from an extensive pool of countries within the five sub-regional economic blocs in sub-Saharan Africa. We examine how the construct of ‘intervention’ is structured through 15 sub-frames of the themes of (1) social programming, (2) legal proactivity and (3) institutional interventions, monitoring and evaluation. We look at the similarities in the framing of risk management as it relates to medical, social, nutrition, criminal prosecution, and compulsory schooling interventions.
