Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Coordination of employment policy with poverty reduction. In its report, the Government indicates that the new national employment policy (NPNE) for the period 2015–19 will be subject to technical validation and adds that the NPNE was taken into account in the initial phase (2014–18) of the Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE), which is Senegal’s new economic and social policy paper for the period 2014–35. The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the progress made in the implementation of the national employment policy.
Article 2. Collection and use of employment data. The Government indicates that the National Statistical and Demographics Agency (ANSD) launched an annual employment survey in 2015, with the financial support of the World Bank. The survey will be conducted on a quarterly basis, as of 2016, and will provide regularly updated data on employment. Furthermore, the national surveys on employment in Senegal (ENES) will be conducted throughout the country, using ordinary households and individuals aged 10 years and above. The Government adds that the World Bank is providing support to the ANSD to set up an employment database with a view to making it easier for all users to access data, while the African Development Bank, through its project to foster the employment of young persons and women, is helping to improve the employment information system. The harmonization of employment information systems will be ensured by the latter project. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the progress made in improving the collection and use of employment data in the context of these projects, and to provide information on employment trends, particularly in unemployment and underemployment.
Article 3. Participation of the social partners in the design and formulation of policies. The Government indicates that the social partners have always been involved in all activities relating to the implementation of employment policy. The Committee requests the Government to indicate how the experience and views of the social partners are taken into account in the implementation of the NPNE.
Part V of the report form. ILO technical assistance. The Government indicates that the ILO supported a study assessing the employment of young persons in 2013, a national forum on employment, and the formulation of an intervention strategy by the Labour Administration in the informal sector with a view to the promotion of decent work. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the initiatives that have benefited from ILO cooperation, especially their impact on employment.
