Strengthening Labour Inspection system for Promoting Labour Standards and ensuring workplace compliance in Pakistan

The project will be implemented in coordination with the other activities to promote Labour Inspection as part of the Government of Pakistan’s larger programme on “Strengthening national capacities for ILS compliance in Pakistan’ i.e. Output 1.3. Labour Inspection system strengthened in terms of outreach and quality (for details, see Annex-C). This strategy is guided by the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129), the Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150), and the resolution and conclusions resulting from the 2011 Conference general discussion on labour administration and labour inspection. This project will take on a three pronged approach with a focus on: • Developing the capacity of government labour inspection and enforcement institutions; • Assisting in the design, upgrade and roll out of labour inspection tools and a system that can effectively address disputes, and propose resolutions. • Creating awareness on Labour Inspections i.e. approaches, relevance and benefits. The ILO will work with worker and employer organizations to design innovative and complementary approaches to workplace compliance, including those workplaces/enterprises in the informal economy as well as the engagement of the private sector. The intervention follows a systemic approach aimed at demonstrating, mainstreaming and complimenting Governments efforts of improving the Labour Inspection Culture in Pakistan.
