ACI 7 – Concept note and general phases description

Strengthening Workplace Compliance through Labour Inspection: Vision statement

This area of critical importance (ACI 7) on compliance (ACI/Compliance) reflects the values and principles enshrined in the ILO Constitution, standards and declarations. Its long-term goal is more and better workplace compliance with labour laws and regulations, international labour standards and collective agreements.

The development objective of this ACI is to improve working conditions for men and women, particularly in the areas of fundamental principles and rights at work, occupational safety and health, wages and working time, and social security enrolment.

As a contribution towards this objective, ACI 7 will focus on developing the capacity of institutions and actors whose role is to ensure workplace compliance with national labour laws, in line with international labour standards.

This new area of critical importance also reflects recent ILO institutional reforms that have brought about the creation of a Governance and Tripartism Department (GOVERNANCE).

GOVERNANCE brings together expertise from across the ILO in the areas of labour administration and inspection, labour law, occupational safety and health, social dialogue, fundamental principles and rights, and better working conditions.
