The Committee notes the Government's report, which replies in part to its previous direct request. It notes with interest the adoption of the National Employment Act, which includes provisions on the vocational training and integration of young persons and makes the Ministry of Labour and Social Security responsible for integrating vocational training for employment into the national employment policy and for coordinating the implementation of programmes of vocational training for employment with public sector bodies at the national, provincial or municipal levels, as well as with private sector bodies. The Committee requests the Government to supply detailed information in its report on the implementation of these provisions. Please, in particular, indicate the results achieved by employment-training contracts, with an indication of the number of beneficiaries and the types of training provided.

With reference to its previous direct request, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide detailed information on the procedures established to obtain the cooperation of employers' and workers' organizations in the preparation and application of policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training, in accordance with Article 5 of the Convention. It hopes that the Government's next report will include the data required under Part VI of the report form on the effect given to the Convention in practice, as well as the information which was requested previously on the measures taken as a result of the technical cooperation projects carried out by the ILO or in the context of CINTERFOR (Part V of the report form).
