Technical support on social dialogue and labour administration in Mauritania

This project aims at strengthen institutions of social dialogue with a view to improving the functioning of national labour administration and labour inspection systems. Strengthening the participatory governance of the labour market will be a key element of the ILO’s strategy. The tripartite constituents will be supported in fulfilling their responsibilities within social dialogue institutions such as the National Council for Social Dialogue. Assistance will also be provided through facilitating partnerships between the labour administration and the social partners, and by fostering coordination between the various actors such as labour inspectors, the Ministry of Justice, and the social partners in order to promote compliance with the labour law. Interventions include capacity building for labour administration and inspection services and employers’ and workers’ organizations in the areas of labour legislation, social dialogue, labour inspection, and international labour standards, in particular those related to the elimination of child labour. Special attention will be given to improving the functioning of regional employment offices and their coordination with the central level. The ratification of the Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) and the Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150) will also be promoted. Work under this project will contribute to the achievement of SDG target 8.7.
