Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Tanganyika (ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes the information provided in reply to its previous comments.

Articles 11 and 16 of the Convention. The Committee notes with interest that, thanks to the technical cooperation project for the reinforcement of labour relations in East Africa (ILO/SLAREA), the Government was able to make available to the inspection services ten motorcycles, thus improving their ability to travel to the establishments under their supervision. It notes, however, that these were not appropriate for travel in areas containing wild animal reserves and that the Government counts on ILO support in the framework of the above project, to obtain financing for four-wheeled vehicles for this purpose.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes that, due to the persistence of economic constraints and the unattractive conditions of service of labour inspectors, the conditions required for the formulation of an annual inspection report have still not been met. It nevertheless notes the Government’s hope that during the implementation stage of the recommendations of the Labour Law Reform Task Force, and with ILO support, more resources will be allocated to the fulfilment of this obligation.

The Committee is addressing a request on other points directly to the Government.
