This paper zooms in on the lobby and advocacy activities implemented by WNCB Alliance partners to influence national policy change towards the elimination of child labour. Partners sought to influence changes in legislation, policies, levels of resourcing and budgets, service design, and (innovative) practices. Across the six programme countries we find a staggered approach was taken to guide national legislation and policies: firstly, supporting the establishment of a legal framework, then encouraging the translation into policy with dedicated budgets, and finally overseeing the implementation of the policy. Along the way, WNCB Alliance partners have learned what works and what does not. Here, we share lessons learned from two country cases, Jordan, and Viet Nam, on what was done, how it was implemented and what lessons we can take along for the future.
