Part II of the Convention. Engagement and recruitment of migrant workers. Articles 5–19 and Part XI. Labour inspection. Articles 71–84. Further to its previous comment, the Committee notes the Government’s indications that labour inspectors ensure compliance with the Convention with respect to recruitment and employment of migrant workers. The Government states, however, that labour inspection services are still unable to carry out regular controls in plantations for lack of transportation means. In addition, the Committee notes the Government’s explanations about the political, social and economic measures aimed at facilitating the return of migrant agricultural workers as well as internally displaced persons after the resolution of the post-electoral crisis. The Government indicates, for instance, that new schools and dispensaries are being constructed in zones of heavy agricultural activity while a new Ministry for African integration was established with a view to promoting activities for the reinsertion of migrant workers. The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any further developments concerning the normalization of the situation, particularly as regards the recruitment and employment conditions of migrant plantation workers. The Committee also requests the Government to make every effort to bring the plantation sector within the reach of the labour inspection services and refers in this regard to the comments made under the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), and the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129).
