Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2024, published 113rd ILC session (2025)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Chad (Ratification: 1998)

Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. Technical assistance. For many years, the Committee has been requesting the Government to provide information on the progress made following the assistance provided by the ILO on matters related to tripartite consultations and social dialogue. In this regard, the Committee notes with regret that the Government merely indicates that meetings of the consultative bodies take place whenever necessary, while indicating that, in practice, the Higher Committee for Labour and Social Security (HCTSS) has not met due to the unavailability of its members. However, the Government indicates that the activities of the Higher Committee will resume following the adoption of the decree appointing its members in October 2023. In light of the above, the Committee urges the Government to provide, without delay, detailed information on the manner in which the tripartite consultations required by the Convention have been held, indicating in particular their frequency, content and outcome and whether they have covered all of the matters relating to international labour standards covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention.

Article 4(2). Training. The Government indicates, in reply to the Committee’s previous comment on arrangements for the financing of any necessary training of participants in consultation procedures, that any necessary training is jointly financed by the Government and employers. Noting the Government’s indication that the activities of the HCTSS should resume shortly, following the appointment of its members, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether any training has been planned to ensure that participants in the consultative procedures, in particular newly appointed members, are fully instructed in the procedures relating to the application of the Convention.
