The Committee notes with regret 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:
Article 1 of the Convention. The Government states that employment promotion is encouraged through fostering self-employment. To this end, it has provided loans and training, including assistance to university graduates. In Khartoum State, 300 small-scale enterprises were aided, and in Jazira State 80 were helped. The Government also intends to improve training to government officials, to better match skills supplied to skills demanded. The Committee notes this information and asks further information on the impact of the measures mentioned by the Government on employment promotion. Please also describe in detail any other measures taken to promote employment, particularly in rural areas and amongst women. Overall, the Committee requests detailed information on all of the points raised in the report form, as well as disaggregated data on trends in the labour market.
Article 2. Please provide detailed information on how the employment policy and programmes are kept under review within the framework of a coordinated economic and social policy. Please also provide information on measures taken to establish a system for collecting data on the labour market.
Article 3. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the programmes to generate self-employment have been developed in consultation with employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee would appreciate receiving further information on the nature of other consultations and their outcomes. Please also specify the manner in which consultations are held with other affected groups, such as rural and informal sector workers.
Part V of the report form. The Committee notes that the ILO has prepared a study on Poverty Eradication in Sudan (April 1998). Noting the Government’s request in its report for technical assistance in the area of management of small-scale enterprises, the Committee encourages the Government and the Office to examine appropriate ways in which assistance for employment generation, in the sense of the Convention, might be made available to Sudan.
