Strengthened Capacity of member States to ratify and apply international labour standards and to fulfil their reporting obligations

This intervention aims to strengthen constituents’ engagement on compliance with and reporting on international labour standards. The intervention provides specific assistance in follow-up to the Governing Body decisions resulting from the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group and comments of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations and Conference Committee on the Application of Standards on the application of ratified Conventions in Fiji. The focus is on Freedom of Association (C87, C98), child labour (C138, C182), equality (C100), forced labour (C105), occupational health and safety (C155, C184), Maritime Labour Convention and seafarers' identity documents (C108). The target beneficiaries are tripartite constituents of Fiji. The expected end-result is that comments of the ILO supervisory bodies are addressed by the Government and Fiji ratifies at least three more technical conventions. The capacities of tripartite constituents are strengthened to enable them to participate in policy decisions. In turn, this provides a framework for promotion, knowledge sharing and targeted interventions in other Pacific island countries on application of international labour standards as a foundation to inform policy responses for better COVID-19 recovery in the Pacific.
