Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2003, publiée 92ème session CIT (2004)

The Committee notes the Government’s report which briefly indicates that there is nothing new to report for the period from 1 July 1998 to 30 June 2003 and that the Unemployed Men and Women Heads of Household Plan provides for capacity building and training of its beneficiaries. The Committee invites the Government to provide in a future report detailed information on the means used to implement comprehensive and coordinated policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training, particularly by indicating the way in which effective coordination is assured and the manner in which the policies and programmes are linked with employment and the public employment services (Article 1, paragraphs 1 and 4, of the Convention).

In this respect, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide in its next report updated information on general, technical and vocational education, educational and vocational guidance and vocational training (Article 2). In particular please describe the results achieved by the Unemployed Heads of Household Plan in the vocational training of the beneficiaries, with an indication of the number of beneficiaries and the types of vocational training provided.

As on previous occasions, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide details on the formal procedures established to ensure the cooperation of employers’ and workers’ organizations in the formulation and implementation of vocational guidance and vocational training programmes and policies, in accordance with Article 5 of the Convention.

The Committee trusts that the Government’s next report will also contain the information requested in Part VI of the report form on the application of the Convention in practice, as well as on the measures adopted as a result of ILO technical assistance (Part V of the report form).
