Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Formulation of an active employment policy. The Committee notes that the Government provided a report in June 2014, despite the very worrying situation experienced in the country since March 2013. It notes the information concerning the National Forum on Decent Work organized in December 2011 with the financial support of development partners. In the emergency plan of the General Directorate of Labour and Social Welfare (DGTPS) for 2013, the Government enumerates fundamental concerns, which include the formulation of the national employment policy paper. The plan also proposes certain strategic objectives in the field of employment, including the reinforcement of tripartism and social dialogue, increased opportunities for decent employment for young women and men and improved employability through the promotion of entrepreneurship. The Government indicates that by 2015 it had the intention to develop an effective employment sector which contributes to growth and poverty reduction through the implementation of a specific strategy for the creation and promotion of new employment opportunities for the poorest population groups and the effective use of the pluralistic system of social security, insurance and assistance. The Committee hopes that the objectives of the Convention will be taken into consideration in the reconstruction of the country and invites the Government to provide information on the progress achieved in the adoption and implementation of a national employment policy.

Collection and use of employment data. The Government indicates that no specific survey has been carried out due to lack of financing. The only data that exist are those of the general population and habitat census of 2003. As the compilation of data not only allows the examination and evaluation of the results of employment policies, but also in parallel to follow progress towards full, productive and freely chosen employment, the Committee hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to provide information on all progress achieved in this regard. It also requests the Government to indicate the measures adopted to ensure that employment, as a key element of poverty reduction, is central to macroeconomic and social policies (Article 2).

Education and training policies. The Government indicates that one of the measures taken to ensure that the promotion of vocational training is inadequate with employment prospects is the reinforcement of the capacities of institutions responsible for the management of employment policy and vocational training. The Committee refers to its 2013 direct request on the application of the Human Resources Development Convention, 1975 (No. 142), and invites the Government to provide examples of the measures taken to ensure that the promotion of vocational training is coordinated more fully with the employment prospects available to its beneficiaries. It also requests the Government to provide information on the results of the measures designed to promote the entry of young persons into the labour market.

Article 3. Participation of the social partners in the formulation and implementation of employment policies. The Government indicates that the social partners are always consulted through the work of the National Standing Labour Council and the various meetings on conditions of work. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on the consultations required in the Convention, which require the participation of all of the persons affected, and particularly the representatives of employers and workers, and of those working in the rural sector and the informal economy, in the formulation and implementation of employment policies.
