Technical support on labour inspection in Albania

This project aims at strengthening the effectiveness and quality of labour inspection systems and social dialogue institutions. The ILO will assist the national tripartite constituents in Albania to define objective representativity criteria for participation in tripartite and bipartite social dialogue at all levels, as well as in the process of implementation of the new Labour Code provisions relating to regional social dialogue institutions, collective bargaining and dispute resolution. The ILO will: i) provide technical advice in the process of drafting relevant by-laws and institutional capacity building; (ii) assist in the establishment of a database of collective agreements and social partners’ membership; (iii) provide technical advice in reviewing current regulations on dispute resolution, in order to increase the effectiveness of the mechanism for amicable settlement of labour disputes; and (iv) assist in the establishment of a labour dispute management information system and the development of a continuous training programme on labour conciliation. The project will facilitate knowledge sharing and exposure to comparative European law and practice through creating synergies with the EU funded sub-regional project on “Economic and Social Affairs Platform” for the Western Balkan countries, and will contribute to the achievement of SDG 8.
