Technical Support on Youth Employment Prospects

The projects aims at strengthening labour market governance through labour law reforms, effective social dialogue and sound industrial relations (IR). Constituents will be assisted in ensuring that the industrial relations framework is made compliant with ILO standards, with a particular focus on the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87), and the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98), in line with the national development strategy that gives importance to the ILO core international labour standards. Direct and indirect linkages and partnerships will be established with ongoing ‘Better Work’ initiatives with workers’ and employers’ organizations to maximize results. The tripartite partners will gain knowledge required for IR reform and prepare inputs for the reform of the IR law and institutions in line with C. 87 and C. 98, through evidence-based review of IR system and examination of international experiences. The project will build upon lessons and experiences of past and ongoing programmes and projects of the ILO, while establishing partnerships with new initiatives on employers and workers’ sides. Overall, the government and social partners will develop a better understanding and application of international labour standards governing industrial relations.
