Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2005, Publicación: 95ª reunión CIT (2006)

1. Restructuring of the employment service. In the report for the period ending June 2005, the Government indicates that, following the dissolution of the National Manpower Office, the Central African Agency for Vocational Training and Employment (ACFPE) was established in May 1999. The principal functions of the ACFPE relate to the implementation of all operations for the promotion of employment, the promotion of vocational training and the development of free enterprise. The Government specifies that, although ACFPE agencies have been established in the cities of three prefectures, namely Mbaïki, Bambari and Berbérati, the agencies do not cover the whole of the territory in view of the inadequacy of economic activity in certain regions. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report the progress achieved and the assessment of the new organization of the employment service under the responsibility of the ACFPE. It also requests it to indicate the activities undertaken by the ACFPE to ensure the effective discharge of the objectives and functions set out in Articles 6, 7 and 8 of the Convention.

2. Participation of the social partners. The Committee requests the Government to provide particulars in its next report on the consultations held with representatives of employers and workers on the organization and operation of the employment service and the development of employment policy, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention.

3. The Committee once again requests the Government to include in its next report the statistical data called for in Part IV of the report form (applications for employment received, vacancies notified and persons placed in employment).
