description:

The challenges surrounding National Tripartite Social Dialogue in Ukraine and the non-functioning of National Tripartite and Social Economic Council, NTSEC,.are many: Missing political will or a discourse by central decision makers that Tripartite Social Dialogue is unnecessary, the role of social partners not being recognised, and the disengagement by the Federation of Employers from NTSEC in 2018.

context:

Under Outcome 3 of the ILMJC, Output 3.1, substantial technical support has been provided to NTSEC in terms of needs assessment, actin plans and direct technical training and advice. Also, ILMJC and the ILO coordinator have given a wide range of legal assessment of draft and existing acts related to labour market development, employment, social and maternity protection since 2018. Despite this, the NTSEC has been stalled due to withdrawal of one social partner in 2018-2020 and the lack of support by central decision makers in government, parliament of Ukraine and the political process around TPD

success:

The ILMJC has managed to feed into the legal process and have continued to support the NTSEC secretariat and social partners by providing TA and assessment of their proposals and critique of the on-going legislative process

challenges:

The above factors have led to a non-conducive or even adverse environment, outside the influence of ILO and even limited influence by social partners (trade unions, employers). This has negatively affected all project outcomes by making made it impossible to have a TPD platform where key social, economic, labour and employment questions could be consulted, and where decisions and legislative processes could be agreed on. In addition, the NTSEC is a relative weak institution with few resources, and a very limited budget.

administrative_issues:

The process has required substantial attention and resources throughout - also from ILO’s regional office in Budapest and the ILO country coordinator

comments:

Essentially NTSEC, but also members of parliament, central government officials, as well as social partners feeding proposals and commenting on draft acts and legislation under the purview of NTSEC
