Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Maternity Protection Convention, 1919 (No. 3) - Côte d'Ivoire (Ratification: 1961)

Article 3(c) of the Convention. The Committee notes with interest the Government's statement that the decision that the whole of maternity benefits would be borne by the National Social Insurance Fund (CNPS), was taken by its board of directors at its meeting on 22 April 1987. It also notes that the draft amendment to section 102 of the Labour Code concerning maternity protection, which confirms this practice, has been transmitted to employers' and workers' organisations for their examination. The Committee hopes that this amendment will be adopted in the near future and that the Government will indicate in its next report the progress that has been made in this respect.
