Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122) - Sudan (Ratification: 1970)

The Committee notes the brief information contained in the Government's report for the period ending June 1992. With reference to its previous comments, it regrets to note the absence of the information requested on the objectives and orientations of the Triennial Economic Salvation Programme 1990-1993 in respect of employment policy.

The Committee trusts that the Government will supply full information in its next report on the employment policy measures which are currently being implemented or are envisaged, with an indication of the manner in which the representatives of the persons affected, and in particular the representatives of employers' and worker's organizations, are consulted on these measures, in accordance with Article 3 of the Convention. Please also indicate the measures which have been taken with a view to the establishment of a labour market information system.

The Committee notes the information concerning the results obtained through the special public works programmes in Darfur and Kordofan, which were undertaken within the context of ILO technical cooperation projects, and would be grateful if the Government would indicate the action taken as a result of these projects (Part V of the report form). In particular, please indicate whether it is intended to extend public works programmes at the national level.

Finally, with regard to point 2 of its previous direct request, relating to the question of compulsory national service in the context of the application of Article 1, paragraph 2(c), of the Convention, the Committee refers to its comments under Convention No. 105.
