Technical support on capacity building on labour inspection in Azerbaijan

This project aims at improving the functioning of labour administration system, in general, and strengthening the institutional capacity of state labour inspection service (SLIS), in particular, to ensure compliance with the labour law. Being a member of International Association of Labour Inspection and Regional Alliance of State Labour Inspections, SLIS will also benefit from the exchange of knowledge and expertise of other countries, through the continued partnerships and cooperation with these two international alliances. The interventions will also be focused at improving the institutional mechanism of tripartite social dialogue and enhancing the capacity of the social partners to participate in the development and implementation of policies, strategies and programmes for the workplace compliance through national tripartite and bipartite social dialogue. The current legal and institutional framework and enforcement mechanism for workplace compliance will be assessed on tripartite basis. The capacity of labour inspection, workers’ and employers’ organizations to improve workplace compliance in line with national labour law, regulations, collective agreements and ratified international labour standards will be strengthened, as will collaborative partnerships between labour administration, social partners and other relevant actors. The project will contribute to the achievement of SDG 8, in particular target 8.8.
