Technical support on labour inspection and social dialogue

This project targets strengthening institutional capacity of key government structures on labour law compliance, as well as to strengthen capacities of social partners for ensuring the full application of the ratified Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) and Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129). As a result, the project will address institutional and legal needs at the level of national labour law compliance mechanisms, namely the State Labour Service. This will provide the basis for improved capacity of State regulatory institutions to develop action oriented policies that respect labour rights, including occupational safety and health, informal economy, and fundamental labour rights. Support to the Government’s reform of the labour inspection system to ensure effective labour law compliance would include effective operationalization of a new State Labour Service in line with international labour standards. The scope of action of the State Labour Service will be extended to the informal economy. The Capacity of the State Labour Service to work in cooperation with other institutions will be enhanced. A gender sensitive human resources policy and measures to attract and retain qualified staff will be defined and implemented. An operational modality of tripartite dialogue within the labour administration system will also be facilitated through this project. Work under this project will contribute to the achievement of SDG 8.
