Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2005, publiée 95ème session CIT (2006)

Parts I and II of the Convention. Improvement of standards of living. The Committee notes the brief information contained in the Government’s report received in November 2003. It notes that the various existing sectoral policies have been reshaped into a national social development policy aimed particularly at reducing the extent of poverty and improving the population’s quality of life. The Government also mentions that its social development policy is set out in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) drawn up in 2001. The Committee requests the Government to supply in its next report information on the manner in which the provisions of the Convention stipulating that "all policies ... primarily directed to the well-being and development of the population" have been taken into account in the preparation and execution of measures taken under its economic programmes and poverty reduction strategy.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2006.]
