Previous comment

The Committee notes the observations of the Costa Rican Union of Chambers and Associations of the Private Business Sector (UCCAEP), communicated with the Government’s report, which are general in nature.

In its previous comments, the Committee encouraged the Government to continue taking steps to promote the participation of rural workers’ organizations. The Committee notes the detailed information provided by the Government on the programmes developed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Farming, as well as the Institute of Rural Development (INDER) in this respect. In particular, it notes the Government’s indication that both the National Development and Public Investment Plan for 2019–22 and for 2023–26 undertook to promote and encourage the participation of rural workers’ organizations, and that the Plan for 2023–26 includes a capacity-building programme, which aims to encourage compliance with labour/management rights through training on labour rights and collective bargaining techniques. The Committee also notes the Government’s indication that INDER, in its operational plans, supported the participation of young people and rural women in various associations. Taking due note of the above, the Committee requests the Government to provide more detailed information on existing rural workers’ organizations, including information on solidarity associations (number of associations and members, as well as the type of activities that they carry out).

[The Government is asked to reply in full to the present comments in 2026.]
