Technical support on ILS in South Africa

This project aims at strengthening capacity to ratify and apply international labour standards and to fulfil related reporting obligations in South Africa. ILO support will ensure that tripartite constituents in South Africa are better equipped to ratify, apply and give effect to international labour standards as a means to promote decent work and advance social justice. Technical assistance will be provided to the government and social partners to enhance the quality of reporting on ratified Conventions by ensuring that action is taken to address comments of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations. A time-bound national action plan will be developed and implemented in consultation with employers’ and workers’ organizations as well as other national stakeholders to promote ratification in general and of selected Conventions in particular.
