Article 5(1) of the Convention. Tripartite consultations. The Committee notes that, according to the information provided by the Government in its report, the Labour Advisory Commission generally holds ordinary meetings at least twice a year, in order to issue reasoned opinions on matters relating to labour law. The aforementioned Commission may also, at the request of the Minister of Labour, examine any difficulties that arise during the negotiation of collective agreements, and study elements that could be used as a basis for fixing a minimum wage. The Committee notes that in 2008 and 2009, the Commission was consulted specifically with regard to draft decrees and orders. In 2009, it was also requested by the Minister of Labour to issue opinions on requests from two private enterprises regarding an exemption relating to weekly working hours and the implementation of a food voucher system. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on any matters referred to the Labour Advisory Commission during the next reporting period. It would also be grateful if the Government would indicate whether measures have been taken or are envisaged in order to secure consultation, cooperation and negotiation between the public authorities and organizations of employers and workers, at regional and local levels.

Article 6(2)(a). Employment policy. Referring to its previous comments on private employment agencies and temporary work agencies, the Committee notes Decree No. 2007-548/PRES/PM/MTSS, regulating the activities of offices, private employment agencies and temporary work agencies, and Order No. 2207 028/MTSS/SG/DGT/DER, issuing the terms and conditions applicable to offices, private employment agencies and temporary work agencies. The Committee notes that the labour administration must examine the requests relating to the aforementioned terms and conditions, grant and renew authorization if the enterprise submitting the request meets all the established requirements, and carry out monitoring via the labour inspection services to ensure that the enterprise is continuing to comply with the terms and conditions. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the results of the labour inspection visits conducted to monitor the activities of offices, private employment agencies and temporary work agencies. Moreover, with regard to activities implemented to promote employment, the Committee requests the Government to refer to its comments on the application of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122).

Technical assistance. The Committee notes with interest that, according to the information available on the ILO website, a project funded by the French Government to modernize labour administration and inspection in five African countries, including Burkina Faso (BIT/ADMITRA-Phase II), was launched in April 2011 and will end on 31 December 2014. The programme focuses on: (a) strengthening the capacity for action of labour administration and inspection in the informal economy; (b) ensuring the effective, coordinated and active organization and operation of labour administration and inspection bodies; (c) building capacity through training and the updating and modernization of the working methods and tools used by labour inspectors, labour administration and inspection staff and labour inspector trainers; and (d) strengthening the capacity of officials responsible for supervising the formulation, implementation and evaluation of public development policies. The Committee asks the Government to supply information on the impact of the implementation of this project on the operation of the labour inspection system and on the performance of its assigned duties.
