Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government reports that the Minister responsible for labour matters has appointed new members to constitute the Labour, Economic and Social Council (LESCO). It adds that the newly constituted LESCO is composed of representatives of the Government, employers, workers and other members appointed by virtue of their professions. The Committee notes that the Government has provided no information enabling it to evaluate the application of the Convention. Accordingly, the Committee requests the Government to provide specific information on the frequency, object, content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held by the competent tripartite bodies for purposes of the Convention, such as the LESCO and the Zanzibar Labour Advisory Board, on all matters concerning international labour standards set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention, including consultations on the re-examination of unratified Conventions with its social partners.

Article 4. Administrative support and financing of training. The Government reports that it is making every possible effort to strengthen the capacities of the newly appointed members to support effective consultations and functioning of the LESCO. In reply to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government indicates that it will consider availing itself of ILO technical assistance in this regard. The Committee requests the Government to provide updated information on any arrangements made to provide administrative support for the functioning of the LESCO and the Zanzibar Labour Advisory Board and to finance training for their members on the consultative procedures required by the Convention.
