Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Coordination of employment policy with poverty reduction. In its previous comments, the Committee asked the Government to provide information on progress made in the formulation and implementation of a national employment promotion policy and on the results achieved, particularly for young persons and women, through measures to promote employment and improve the supply of vocational and technical training. The Government indicates in its report that the national employment policy, which was formulated in 2003, is obsolete. It adds that in 2015 it was decided to update it to take account of the current situation in the country. Accordingly, the Government indicates that an initial policy document is available, having been prepared with assistance from the ILO. It states that the aim of the national employment promotion policy is to expand job opportunities. The Government has chosen to focus on sectors displaying strong growth and high capacity for job creation. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on progress made regarding the formulation and implementation of a national employment promotion policy. It also requests the Government to send a copy of the new policy, once it has been adopted. Moreover, the Committee reiterates its request to the Government to provide information, including statistics disaggregated by sex and age, on the results achieved by measures to promote employment and improve the supply of vocational and technical training, referring in this regard to its comments on the Human Resources Development Convention, 1975 (No. 142), in which it requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to ensure coordination between the various bodies responsible for developing comprehensive and concerted vocational guidance and training policies and programmes.

Article 3. Participation of the social partners in the formulation and implementation of policies. The Government indicates that in the context of the “Programme of support for the acceleration of inclusive growth in Guinea” (PAACIG), with technical support from the ILO office in Dakar, it has formulated the main components of the national employment policy on the basis of the results of initial consultations with the social partners. The Government indicates that there are no specific measures enabling rural workers or workers in the informal economy to participate in the formulation of employment policies. However, it adds that their case will be examined when the members of the steering committee are appointed. The Committee once again reminds the Government of the importance of consultations with representatives of the persons affected when formulating and implementing a national employment policy. The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the consultation of the social partners in the process of formulating and implementing employment policies. It hopes that the Government will take all necessary steps to enable the consultation of the representatives of rural workers and workers in the informal economy in the formulation and implementation of employment policy. The Committee recalls that the Government may avail itself of the technical assistance from the ILO in this regard.
