Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150) - Guinea (Ratification: 1982)

The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending in September 2000. It takes note of the information on the recent changes in the organization and distribution of responsibilities of the labour administration following the Decree of 5 May 1997 to organize the Ministry of Employment and the Public Service. According to the Government, this Ministry is responsible, through its central directorates, for framing legislation on industrial relations, social security, occupational safety, employment and vocational training and for supervising its enforcement through a system of labour inspection. The Guinean Agency for Employment Promotion (AGUIPE) reports to the same Ministry and is responsible, in cooperation with the National Directorate of Employment and the Regulation of Work, for framing and implementing the Government’s employment policy. Vocational training is the responsibility of the National Office for Vocational Training and Further Training (ONFPP) which is now under the authority of the Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training; whereas the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) now reports to the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Advancement of Women and Childhood. The Committee also notes the general information and particulars of the legislation concerning the new structure and system of operation of the labour administration, and would be grateful if the Government would send the Office a copy of all the texts forming part of the existing legislation, together with information on the subjects dealt with at the ONFPP, the AGUIPE and the CNSS indicating how, in practice, coordination between the various bodies responsible for labour administration functions is ensured, taking account of the distribution of responsibilities between several ministries.
