Support GSP+ beneficiary countries to effectively implement ILS and comply with reporting obligations. Paraguay

The project aims at supporting the application of ILO fundamental Conventions and human rights in Paraguay with a focus on the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29), Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87), Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) and Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138). The project assists the country in meeting its reporting obligations to the ILO supervisory bodies and strengthening the institutional capacity of the Government particularly with regard to addressing the comments made by the ILO supervisory bodies on the application of ratified Conventions. In order to achieve the project results, activities carried out include tripartite workshops and trainings addressed to the Government, social partners and to different governmental bodies, including the Tripartite National Committee on Fundamental Rights and Forced Labour and the National Commission, to prevent and eradicate the Exploitation of Children in order to develop a long-term strategy on the eradication of forced labour on indigenous peoples and children.
