The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to its previous request concerning Article 6(2)(c) and (d) of the Convention on the services provided and advice offered to employers’ and workers’ organizations by the labour administration system bodies.

Articles 1 and 4. Effective operation of the labour administration system and coordination of its functions. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that labour administration activities are undertaken by three Ministries, namely the Ministry of Labour, the Public Service and State Reform, the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training and the Ministry of Social Development, Solidarity and the Elderly. It notes the Government’s indication in its report that the departments that make up the labour administration ensure coordination of their own services but there is an absence of a single coordination system. The Committee requests the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that the functions and responsibilities of the labour administration, exercised both by these three ministries and by the various regional labour departments, are coordinated with a view to the effective operation of the labour administration system.

Article 5. Consultation, cooperation and negotiation between the public authorities and organizations of employers and workers. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the activities carried out by public authorities in which employers’ and workers’ organizations have participated. The Government also indicates that a draft Decree has been prepared establishing the National Social Dialogue Council (CNDS). The Committee requests the Government to specify whether measures have also been taken or are envisaged to ensure consultation, cooperation and negotiation, as envisaged by this Article of the Convention, at both the regional and local levels and in the different sectors of economic activity. It also requests the Government to provide information on progress in the adoption of the Decree referred to above and, where appropriate, the issues addressed within the CNDS.

Article 6(2)(b). Labour administration services provided to certain categories of workers. The Committee notes with interest the information provided by the Government on the activities carried out in 2014 by the Youth Employment Promotion Agency (APEJ) in the context of the Youth Employment Programme II (PEJ). These activities focused on strengthening the employability of young persons, developing the spirit of entrepreneurship and the reinforcement of measures for the financing of youth projects.

Article 7. Extension of the functions of labour administration to include categories of workers who are not, in law, employed persons. The Committee notes with interest the implementation by the Regional Departments of Social Protection and Economic Solidarity of the National Strategy for the extension of health coverage to the agricultural and informal sectors through health mutual funds, with the aim of significantly improving the financial accessibility of population categories engaged in the informal and rural sectors to quality health care.

Article 10(2). Material means and financial resources available to the staff of the labour administration. The Committee notes the information contained in the Annual Report of the National Labour Directorate for 2014, including the provision to Regional Labour Departments of chairs, desktop and portable computers, printers, photocopiers, motorcycles, air conditioning, desks, cupboards, refrigerators and chairs for visitors. It also notes that inspectors have followed the regional practical and further training course for labour inspectors organized by the African Regional Labour Administration Centre (ARLAC). However, the Committee notes that, among the difficulties encountered by the National Labour Directorate in discharging its duties, the report refers to the inadequacy of the budget allocated for labour services; the shortage of qualified personnel; the small size of their premises; the insufficient numbers of service vehicles; and the absence of Internet connections. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the measures adopted or envisaged to ensure that labour administration personnel are provided with the material means and the financial resources necessary for the discharge of their duties.
