Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Togo (Ratification: 1983)

Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the detailed information sent by the Government in May 2010 in reply to the previous observations. The Committee notes with interest the setting up, by Order No. 018/MTESS of 28 October 2008, of the National Unit on Standards, one of the tasks of which is to prepare the necessary technical files for tripartite consultations on international labour standards required by the Convention. It also notes with interest that the Government requested and obtained technical and financial assistance from the ILO in November 2009 for training for the members of the national unit with respect to reporting obligations in connection with ratified Conventions. Activity was also planned for the 2010–11 period with regard to strengthening the capacities of the members of the national unit in relation to the content of fundamental Conventions and Conventions on governance which might be submitted for ratification in the near future (Conventions Nos 81 and 122). The Committee hopes that the Government will supply up-to-date information in its next report on the progress made with the social partners to ensure effective tripartite consultations on the matters relating to international labour standards (Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention).
