Articles 1, 2 and 3 of the Convention. Implementation of an active employment policy. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in 2013 and 2014, including the reference made to the political circumstances that the country has been facing since February 2011. The Government underlines that all the political forces in the country succeeded in convening the Comprehensive National Dialogue Conference (CNDC), which deliberated from March 2013 to January 2014. The Committee notes that the CNDC envisaged the adoption of an economy policy which would aim to strengthen the State’s economic capacities and develop the national economy; strengthen the productive basis of non-oil economic sectors; realize a balanced and just development in the allocation of internal and external resources with a view to achieve comprehensive and sustainable development; provide job opportunities; reduce poverty; develop the country’s infrastructure and services; and, improve the country’s economic capacity. The Committee is aware of the major difficulties the country is currently facing and it hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to provide information on the steps taken to declare and implement an active policy designed to promote full, productive and freely chosen employment, in close consultation with the social partners.

Education and training policies. The Government indicates that the recommendations made by the Conference’s Working Group on Rights and Freedoms reflect the need to enact an administrative system in academic and technical institutions based on the principle of equal opportunity. The Committee also notes that the Conference’s Working Group on Comprehensive, Sustainable and Integrated Development recommended the expansion of high and vocational education, in addition to adopting educational curricula that would match the needs in skills and specializations required by the internal and external labour market. The Committee hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to provide information on the measures taken to ensure coordination between education and training policies and employment opportunities.
