Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Workmen's Compensation (Agriculture) Convention, 1921 (No. 12) - Rwanda (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

In reply to the Committee's previous comments, the Government indicates that studies are at an advanced stage for the improvement of the conditions of agricultural workers, temporary workers and day workers at the level of both public authorities and employers' and workers' organizations. The Committee notes this information. It hopes that the Government will be able, in accordance with the Convention and the assurances it has been giving for over ten years, to take appropriate measures, in the light of the results of these studies and with ILO assistance if necessary, to explicitly extend the application of the Legislative Decree of 20 August 1974 (on the organization of social security) to all agricultural workers, including day workers and temporary workers. The Committee asks the Government to indicate progress made in this respect.
