Tripartite constituents effectively engage in social dialogue to apply labour regulations and international labour standards

This intervention focuses on social dialogue for constructive labour relations and the effective application of international labour standards for decent work in Timor-Leste. It strengthens tripartite policy dialogue on measures for employment, wages and working conditions in the context of the COVID-19 recovery and promotes bipartite social dialogue through effective models for workplace consultations and cooperation. The ILO provides technical assistance and advisory services to the Government on dispute settlement systems including mediation/arbitration. It also provides technical support for the ratification of the Tripartite Consultation Convention (C144). The expected end-result of this intervention is the revitalization of National Council for Labour to facilitate effective social dialogue; an improved system of dispute resolution mechanism; agreed modalities to support workplace consultation between employers’ and workers’ organizations; and, tangible progress towards the ratification of Convention No. 144.
