The Committee takes note of the Government’s report received on 19 November 2009.

Need for a labour inspection audit for determining needs and their satisfaction with ILO support and international financial cooperation. In its previous comments, the Committee had taken note of the report of the high-level fact-finding mission which was conducted from 10 to 20 January 2006 by the ILO further to the conclusions of the Committee on the Application of Standards of the ILC (May–June 2005), on the application of the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182), and which was extended to issues of forced labour and slavery. The Committee had noted the need for an audit of the labour inspectorate to determine exactly the type and scope of the inspectorate’s needs so that, once that had been carried out, the Government, with the support of the ILO and of other United Nations agencies and concerned donors, could endeavour to mobilize the necessary resources.

Referring to the conclusions of the ILO’s high-level fact-finding mission report, where it was underlined that the labour inspectorate is desperately short of the necessary resources to carry out its various missions, in terms of both human resources and material resources, the Committee notes with regret that the Government is confined to indicating in its report that it endeavours to take all necessary measures for the audit to take place as soon as possible and that the Committee would be informed in this regard. It provides no specific information as to any relevant measures taken or envisaged.

Therefore, the Committee is bound to urge once again the Government to take all necessary measures, in consultation with employers’ and workers’ organizations, with a view to assembling the logistical and substantive conditions for launching, under ILO auspices, an audit of the labour inspectorate permitting the progressive application of the Convention in accordance with national priorities and requirements.
