Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention. Contribution of the employment service to employment promotion. The Government indicates that the National Vocational Integration and Adaptation Programme, which aims to facilitate access for young persons to vocational training in enterprises, addresses the dual imperative of building capacity and strengthening learning in the workplace. It indicates that this programme helps to enhance the knowledge and skills of young graduates and young persons with no qualifications or with vocational training. The Government also indicates that, under the programme “Improving the employability and integration of young persons and women”, which is part of the National Employment Policy 2014-2024, the National Employment, Training and Vocational Integration Agency (ANEFIP) launched, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Chamber of Commerce of Djibouti, a paid internship project for young persons. This project envisages a joint mobilization of resources to organize initiatives that enable the private sector to have fully trained young persons at a lower cost, with the aim of raising awareness among stakeholders. In this regard, the Committee notes that, through the ANEFIP, 150 young persons have obtained internships. These young persons were selected from the ANEFIP register according to criteria based on level of training, gender and regional representativity. The Government indicates that a new national employment strategy and operational plan (PAO 2020-2024) has been developed. It adds that updated statistical information on employment will be communicated at a later date. The Committee further notes with interest the Government’s indication that Decree No. 2020-294/PR/MTRA establishing specific provisions on the employment of persons with disabilities, was adopted on 16 November 2020. The purpose of the Decree is to encourage the employment of workers with disabilities in enterprises governed by the Labour Code, by establishing a quota based on the number of employees in those enterprises. The Committee also notes the adoption of the National Disability Strategy 2021-2025 through Act No. 36/AN/21/8ème L of 9 December 2021, in particular its strategic priority 8, which aims to improve access to employment for persons with disabilities. It also notes that, under the policy for the decentralization of public services, the ANEFIP established employment offices in the regions of Tadjourah and Ali-Sabieh. The Committee requests the Government to provide updated and detailed information, including statistics disaggregated by sex, age and region, on the impact of the projects and programmes implemented, particularly in the context of the application of the National Employment Policy 2014-2024 and of the National Employment Strategy 2020-2024, in terms of the creation of productive and sustainable jobs. It also requests the Government to provide information, including statistical data, disaggregated by sex and age, on the nature and impact of the measures implemented to give effect to Decree No. 2020-294/PR/MTRA establishing specific provisions on the employment of persons with disabilities. Reiterating its previous requests, the Committee also requests the Government to provide information on the number and location of public employment offices, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment by such offices, and on the activities of the Employment and Skills Observatory (ONEQ), particularly the findings of its surveys on the needs of productive private sector enterprises and on the informal economy, and the statistics compiled on the active population.

Articles 4 and 5. Participation of the social partners. The Government indicates that a forum on employment was held from 18 to 20 February 2021, and that a declaration for employment was signed in consultation with the social partners, civil society and agencies of the United Nations system, to promote decent work. The Government adds that the discussions held with stakeholders in the context of the forum helped to develop a common vision on priority elements to address employment challenges. The Committee notes that the Government does not provide information on the activities of the advisory council or on the progress achieved in the development of the employment service policy. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the activities of the advisory council concerning the organization and operation of the employment service, and on the progress made in formulating the employment service policy. It also requests the Government to continue to provide information on the consultations held with the social partners on the development, implementation and review of measures and programmes aimed at promoting employment and decent work.
