The aim of the programme is to build evidence on:• the forms, drivers, and experiences of children 's harmful work in African agriculture; and • interventions that are effective in preventing harm that arises in the course of children's work. It is currently assumed that the majority of children's work in Africa is within the agricultural sector. However, the evidence base is very poor in regard to: the prevalence of children's harmful work in African agriculture; the distribution of children's harmful work across different agricultural value chains, farming systems and agro-ecologies; the effects of different types of value chains and models of value chain coordination on the prevalence of harmful children's work; and the efficacy of different interventions to address harmful children's work.

“…This is largely due to the fact that it is widely accepted as a legitimate disciplinary practice by teachers, parents, caregivers and children themselves -provided it is done in moderation and with the aim of correcting errant behaviour (Twum-Danso Imoh, 2013;Masko and Bosiwah, 2016). However, its application is often excessive and children are frequently punished for issues outside their control, especially children living in poverty who are late or absent from school due to heavy household or external work commitments Isimbi et al, 2017;Devonald et al, 2021).…”

“…If children return home late from school, or insist on going to school rather than doing chores, they may be beaten in the home (Soneson, 2005;Murphy et al, 2021), or deprived of food . As part of this socialization, as children get older they, in turn, physically discipline their younger siblings for similar misdemeanours (Twum-Danso Imoh, 2013;Isimbi et al, 2017). GAGE evidence from Ethiopia highlights how adolescent girls are frequently disciplined for contravening gender norms, which may foreshadow later domestic violence (Murphy et al, 2021).…”

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This book examines children’s involvement in African agricultural work. It argues that framing all children’s engagement in economic activity as ‘child labour’, with all the associated negative connotations, is problematic. The conceptual and case-based chapters reframe the debate about children’s work and harm in rural Africa with the aim of shifting research, public discourse and policy so that they better serve the interest of rural children and their families.
