Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in response to its previous comments. Referring to Decree No. 17/2015 of 15 August, the Government reports that the Convention is implemented through the tripartite Labour Advisory Commission (CCT) and that this implementation is extended to the provincial level by the tripartite Social Dialogue and Consultation Fora (FCCOS) located in the provincial capitals. The Government adds that the Decree has decentralized tripartite social dialogue and expanded its use throughout the entire country. The Government once again refers to tripartite discussions held in the CCT regarding: the Plan of Action for the National Employment Policy; the National Action Plan for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour; the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155); and the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187). No additional information regarding the content of tripartite discussions during the reporting period is provided. The Committee notes that the annexes referenced in the Government’s report relating to summaries of the discussions are not provided. In response to the Committee’s request for information concerning the content and outcome of tripartite consultations held at the provincial level on matters related to international labour standards covered under Article 5(1) of the Convention, the Government indicates that the consultations have focused on socio-economic and labour matters of interest to the social partners in each province and may vary depending on the specificities of each province.
