Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122) - Uganda (Ratification: 1967)

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 previous direct request, which read as follows:

Referring to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's short report for the period ending June 1996. It notes that the Government essentially refers to ILO technical cooperation activities, in particular through the multidisciplinary team in Addis Ababa, with a view to formulating a global employment policy in consultation with the representatives of all the sectors concerned. The Committee welcomes this regular cooperation with the ILO. In this respect it has been informed by the multidisciplinary team of the progress made, in particular through tripartite national workshops. It would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report the date on which implementation of this employment policy is expected to begin. The Committee also requests the Government to state its intentions in regard to developing employment service networks. Finally, please supply information on the work of the Labour Consultative Council in connection with employment policy.

The Committee suggests to the Government that it should take advantage of its close cooperation with the ILO multidisciplinary team to prepare a full report giving detailed replies to the questions on the report form.
