Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150) - Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ratification: 1987)

Display in: French - SpanishView all

Article 7 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information that an employment promotion project was set up within the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance which, among other things, aims at studying and developing cooperative arrangements, including the setting up of multi-purpose training structures in the informal sector. The Committee understands that even this ad hoc activity is currently hindered by financial difficulties. It hopes future reports will contain information on the possibilities in due course of extending the functions of the system of labour administration as a whole (and not employment promotion or training aspects only), by stages if necessary, to tenants, sharecroppers and other agricultural workers; self-employed workers in the informal sector; members of cooperatives; and those working under other communal arrangements.

Article 10, paragraph 2. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided on the financial resources allocated to the staff of the labour administration. It notes further that the National Sovereign Conference has recommended the restructuring of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance to enable it better to fulfil its mandate. The Committee hopes this recommendation will be implemented soon, perhaps with the assistance of the ILO, and that the Government will provide details of developments.

The Committee also again requests copies of the following: Departmental Order No. 69/0021 of 10 August 1969 establishing the organization and the function of the National Manpower Service; Departmental Order No. 69/0022 of 10 August 1969 fixing the organizational chart of the external services of the National Manpower Service; the Collective Agreement on National Interoccupational Labour (revised 19 March 1985); Organic Group of the Department of Labour and Social Security.
