Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It therefore refers to its 2003 observation and requests the Government to supply a report indicating whether any particular difficulties have been encountered in achieving the employment and training objectives established in its Poverty Reduction Strategy and the manner in which the cooperation of workers’ and employers’ organizations has been ensured, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 1 and 5 of the Convention. In this respect, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply in its next report disaggregated statistics on education and training participation and on placement rates.

[The Government is requested to reply in detail to the present comments in 2009.]
