The Committee notes the communication of the General Confederation of Enterprises of Côte d’Ivoire (CGECI), dated 22 November 2010 and the Government’s report, dated 10 September 2013.

Articles 10 and 11 of the Convention. Human and material resources of the labour inspection. The Committee notes that, according to the Government, the total number of labour inspectors is 200. The Government adds that a public investment project has been prepared in the context of the National Development Programme with a view to rehabilitating and equipping the labour inspection services.

The Committee also notes the indication by the CGECI that the difficulties in the operation of the labour inspection services are related to the inadequacy of the resources made available to them by the Government. The Committee requests the Government to provide updated information on the number of labour inspectors in the various regional directorates and on the material resources available (for example, premises, computers, printers, telephones, etc.), including means of transport. The Committee also requests the Government to provide a copy of the public investment project and to continue to keep the Office informed of any measures taken to increase the material resources of labour inspectors, and the results achieved.

Articles 16 and 21(c). Inspections and register of industrial and commercial workplaces liable to inspection. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the number of enterprises, workers, violations committed and the sanctions applied. It also notes that, according to the CGECI’s communication, the mission of inspectors is confined to receiving and dealing with any complaints lodged by workers or employers, and that inspectors appear to focus essentially on formal sector enterprises, which employ at least 10 per cent of the population. The Committee requests the Government to continue making efforts with a view to the progressive preparation of a mapping of workplaces liable to labour inspection. The Committee also invites the Government to keep the Office informed of any measures adopted or envisaged to maintain inter-institutional cooperation between all public and private bodies and institutions holding relevant data, with a view to the development and maintenance of a reliable register of workplaces liable to labour inspection. The Committee also requests the Government to provide relevant information on the number of inspections disaggregated by the type of inspection and the sectors concerned.

Articles 20 and 21. Publication and content of the annual report on the functioning of the labour inspection services. Aware of the difficulties faced by the Government due to the military-political crisis experienced by the country, the Committee hopes that the Government will continue to make efforts to ensure that the central labour inspection authority publishes and communicates to the Office as soon as possible an annual report containing all the information available on the matters set out in Article 21 of the Convention.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
