The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. Noting the adoption of the new General Labour Act No. 7/15 of 15 June 2015, the Committee hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the specific issues raised in relation to the General Labour Act, and other matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition
Article 6 of the Convention. Programmes of action to eliminate the worst forms of child labour. ILO–IPEC TACKLE Project. The Committee previously noted that Angola is implementing the ILO–IPEC “Tackle child labour through education” (TACKLE Project), which aims to strengthen the capacity of the national and local authorities in the formulation, implementation and enforcement of policies to fight child labour. The Committee notes the information in the ILO–IPEC Technical Progress Report for the TACKLE Project of March 2010 (TACKLE Project TPR) that the National Steering Committee for the Project was established at the beginning of 2010. The TACKLE Project TPR indicates that consultations for the Project’s implementation are ongoing, and that debate on the legal framework for child protection has begun. The Committee encourages the Government to continue its collaboration with ILO–IPEC on the TACKLE Project, and to provide information on the results achieved, particularly the number of children working in, or vulnerable to, the worst forms of child labour who have been reached through its implementation.
