Repetition Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee recalls its observation of 2009 concerning submission to the National Assembly and the ratification of Conventions. It recalls that the ratification of Conventions Nos 122, 142 and 184 had been registered on 28 October 2009. In a report received in March 2010, the Government indicates that it sent correspondence to the social partners on the Conventions that it planned to ratify. It also indicates that it called for the comments from the social partners on the items on the agenda of the 99th Session of the Conference. The Committee hopes that the Government will continue to report progress in the implementation of procedures for effective tripartite consultations on international labour standards and specify the nature of any response from representatives of workers and employers to the correspondence transmitted by the Government. It invites the Government to provide information regularly on all the matters covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention.Article 4. Administrative support and financing of training. The Government indicates that the budgetary constraints inherent in the project for the establishment of the Tripartite Committee on International Labour Standards are being overcome. The Committee once again invites the Government to provide information in its next report on the progress achieved in relation to administrative support for the procedures required by the Convention, as well as the arrangements made for the financing of any necessary training for the participants in consultative procedures.

The Committee once again invites the Government to provide information in its next report on the progress achieved in relation to administrative support for the procedures required by the Convention, as well as the arrangements made for the financing of any necessary training for the participants in consultative procedures.
The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its 2007 observation, which read as follows:
Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Government indicated in its report received in September 2007 that discussions had been under way since 2001 to establish a formal framework for tripartite consultations, and that a series of workshops had been planned to this end but have been unable to be held so far owing to budgetary constraints. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on progress made in the actual establishment of procedures for effective tripartite consultations on international labour standards. It invites the Government to supply detailed information on all the tripartite consultations which occur during the reporting period on each of the matters covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention.
Article 4. Administrative support and financing of training. The Government stated that members of already formalized consultative bodies, such as the Labour Advisory Committee, receive a flat-rate daily allowance of CFA15,000, covered by the state budget. The Committee noted that further details of administrative support and financial arrangements will be provided when the consultation framework is formalized. It requests the Government to continue providing information on the progress made regarding administrative support for tripartite consultation procedures, and also regarding arrangements made for the funding of training needed for participants in consultative procedures.
1. Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Government indicates in its report received in September 2007 that discussions have been under way since 2001 to establish a formal framework for tripartite consultations, and that a series of workshops have been planned to this end but have been unable to be held so far owing to budgetary constraints. The Government states that, while this is pending, the opinions of employers’ and workers’ organizations on all the matters covered by Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention are gathered in reply to correspondence issued by the Ministry of Labour. The Government confirms this situation in its report received in November 2007. The Committee recalls the importance of providing precise and up to date information on the content and outcome of any tripartite consultations on international labour standards, so that it can assess how the provisions of the Convention are applied in practice. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on progress made in the actual establishment of procedures for effective tripartite consultations on international labour standards. It also refers to its observation of 2007 on the obligation to submit instruments adopted by the International Labour Conference to the National Assembly (article 19 of the ILO Constitution) and trusts that the Government’s next report will contain detailed information on all the tripartite consultations which occur during the reporting period on each of the matters covered by Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention (questionnaires on the Conference agenda, submission of instruments adopted by the Conference to the National Assembly, prospects for ratification, reports to be presented on the application of ratified Conventions and denunciation of Conventions).
2. Article 4. Administrative support and financing of training. The Government states that members of already formalized consultative bodies, such as the Labour Advisory Committee, receive a flat-rate daily allowance of CFA15,000, covered by the state budget. The Committee notes that further details of administrative support and financial arrangements will be provided when the consultation framework is formalized. It requests the Government to continue providing information on the progress made regarding administrative support for tripartite consultation procedures, and also regarding arrangements made for the funding of training needed for participants in consultative procedures.
1. Consultation mechanisms and tripartite consultation required by the Convention. In response to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government indicates that it is currently setting up mechanisms for consultation on various issues, including those covered by the Convention. The consultations covered by the Convention are currently addressed in an ad hoc manner and are pursued with a view to establishing an appropriate mechanism. The Committee refers to Article 2 of the Convention and invites the Government to indicate in its next report the outcome of consultations held on the establishment of mechanisms to ensure effective tripartite consultation on all the issues concerning international labour standards set forth in Article 5, paragraph 1. The Committee also refers to its observation on the obligation to submit the instruments adopted by the International Labour Conference to the National Assembly (article 19 of the ILO Constitution), and hopes that the Government’s next report will contain relevant information on the prior tripartite consultations held in this respect (Article 5, paragraph 1(b), of the Convention).
2. Financing of training. The Government also indicates that, since the consultation mechanism has not yet been set up, no training has yet been financed. The Committee hopes that, in its next report, the Government will be able to indicate any arrangements made for the financing of any necessary training of participants in consultative procedures (Article 4, paragraph 2).
The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2004 direct request, which read as follows:
1. The Committee notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention. The Government indicates that there are currently no formal consultation procedures with representative organizations on the matters covered by the Convention. As required by Article 2 of the Convention, the Committee asks the Government to indicate the manner in which it intends to hold effective consultations between representatives of the Government, of employers and of workers on all the matters relating to ILO activities set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, with an indication of whether tripartite consultations on the matters covered by the Convention have been held in the Advisory Labour Commission. The Committee hopes that the next report will contain indications on the progress achieved in giving effect to the provisions of the Convention and that the Government will include information on the following matters.
2. Financing of training. Please provide information on the arrangements made for the financing of any necessary training of participants in the consultative procedures (Article 4, paragraph 2).
3. Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government relating to the survey of ILO standards-related activities in the field of occupational safety and health. It recalls that, according to the information provided by the Government, the instruments adopted at the 88th and 89th Sessions of the Conference were submitted for a preliminary opinion to the social partners and the other competent bodies. The Government also indicated that a submission report issuing a favourable opinion on the ratification of Conventions Nos. 183 and 184 would be prepared with a view to their submission to the National Assembly. The Committee hopes that in its next report the Government will be in a position to provide firm information on the consultations held on each of the subjects covered by the Convention (Article 5, paragraph 1).
4. Frequency of tripartite consultations. Please also indicate the frequency of consultations and the nature of any reports or recommendations resulting from these consultations (Article 5, paragraph 2).
5. Operation of the consultative procedures. Please provide information on the consultations held with the representative organizations on the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention (Article 6).
