In recent years, agency has appeared in academic writings as a new way of referring to active involvement from below in development interventions. The concept of agency starts from the assumption that people are actually agents themselves, continuously acting in and reacting to circumstances. In child labour activism, this concept has been applied to working children in the understanding that, in order to improve their working conditions, children should be organised in organizations that are exclusively for and (ideally) run by working children. This paper aims to evaluate the extent to which child labourers can become agents of change through their own organizations. The paper will draw on two studies carried out by the IREWOC foundation. In 2002 a study was undertaken in Bolivia to give practical meaning to the concept of child agency. Secondly, in 2004/2005 an investigation was carried out on the functioning and impact of childrens organizations in Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. The applied research methods were mainly anthropological and used participant observation, (semi-) informal interviews and group interviewing with working children, their parents and adult representatives of the working childrens organizations. Both investigations show that in focussing on children as active participants, the structural constraints under which children have to live also need to be highlighted. One needs to understand how material poverty, mental deprivation and disempowerment help to shape resilience and defiance, but also anger, distrust and marginalisation.

Les Tableaux de Bord de la Performance ont ete acclames avec raison depuis leur introduction en 1992, mais les intellectuels continuent encore a etudier leurs aspects pragmatiques. Ce papier contribue a la litterature sur les Tableaux de Bord de la Performance, tout dabord, en offrant une explication logique quant a leur succes et ensuite, en presentant un cadre de travail contextuel de tableaux de bord de la performance pour une structure de gestion hierarchisee. Le cadre de travail contextuel reforme la perspective dapprentissage et de croissance du tableau de bord de la performance (i) en effectuant la transition de reference (subjective/objective), et (ii) en reconnaissant que la Perspective dApprentissage et de Croissance implique avant tout une incidence de formulation strategique dune extra-entite. Le transfert de lincidence (intra-entite/extra-entite) reconcilie levolution de la position de politique de gestion non ordonnee [Contenu: (Contenu: Contexte): Contexte] quest la Perspective dApprentissage et de Croissance Concomitante. Le cadre de travail supplante egalement les Perspectives des Tableaux de Bord de la Performances developpes par Kaplan et Norton en ajoutant la perspective de politique sociale qui manquait. La perspective manquante implique une transition de reference objective [(position endogene, perspective exogene): (position exogene, perspective exogene)]. De tels signaux de transition [Contenu: (Contenu: Contexte): Contexte] ordonnent levolution de la position de politique de gestion.
