Sustaining GSP-Plus Status by strengthened national capacities to improve ILS compliance and reporting - GLOBAL

The present Action aims at promoting the application of fundamental ILO conventions in the following ILO member states beneficiaries of the EU preferential trade scheme GSP+: El Salvador, Guatemala, Mongolia and Pakistan. The selected countries will be assisted to take action to apply these fundamental Conventions and meet their standards-related obligations, in particular in response to issues raised by the supervisory bodies and reported in the GSP+ Scorecards. They will also be assisted to enable them to fulfil their ILO Constitutional reporting obligations on these conventions. Organisation/ implementation: The strategy will be to act on several fronts in the selected countries with the aim of achieving closer compliance with reporting obligations and/or ratified fundamental Conventions. In each country, selected key actors likely to bring about positive change where standards are concerned will be given technical assistance, training and will be made aware of the issues. These actors will be members of the national administration, representatives of employers’ and workers’ organizations, judges and parliamentarians. The intervention in building the capacities on fundamental international labour standards will use a mix of approaches, focussing mainly on institutional development. Activities could include: ¿ Awareness-raising and training on the content of selected fundamental ILS. ¿ Research to generate information on the status of implementation of ILS, including legislative gap analyses, advice on elements that will enable tripartite constituents to take the relevant decisions aiming at full implementation. ¿ Legal advice on the revision or drafting of legislation and regulations in the light of the supervisory bodies’ comments. ¿ Strengthening of data collection and reporting capacity of tripartite constituents including the capacity of using the systemic approach to managing ILS constitutional obligations. ¿ Publication/adaptation of thematic materials on the implementation of the concerned ILS.
