DISPLAYINEnglish - French - SpanishAlle anzeigen

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2001 direct request which read as follows:

The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s brief report.

Article 1 of the Convention. The Government states that a report prepared in April 2000 provides a basis for a national employment policy. The Government’s strategy is to develop small and medium enterprises and micro-enterprises in the informal sector. It aims to do this primarily through vocational training and by making financing available. The Government also states that it has undertaken Project "AMIE" to combat poverty, with technical assistance from the ILO and UNDP. The project, which focuses on the creation of micro-enterprises, so far has made loans to 70 enterprises and enabled the creation of 277 jobs. The Federation of Autonomous Unions of Workers of Comoros (USATC) states that Project AMIE should be extended to more people to create more jobs. The Committee notes this information and would appreciate receiving further details on progress made in extending Project AMIE, and the impact on employment promotion.

Article 2. Please supply information on measures taken or envisaged to develop a system for collecting disaggregated data on the labour market. Please also provide further information on how employment policies and programmes are kept under review within the framework of a coordinated economic and social policy.

Article 3. The Committee notes with interest that social dialogue is one of the key strategies identified by the Government for employment promotion. It would appreciate receiving further information on the manner in which consultations are held with representatives of employers, workers and other groups, such as rural and informal sector workers, and on the outcome of these consultations.
