Parts I and II of the Convention. Articles 1 and 2. General principles. Improvement of standards of living. The Government refers in its report to the ambition of the political authorities to make Guinea an emerging country within 15 to 25 years. The Committee notes that four priority fields have been identified: the establishment of the rule of law; the acceleration and diversification of growth capable of responding to the triple objectives of the improvement of standards of living, employment creation and an increase in export potential; the development of social sectors, the promotion of development from the base up and the success of decentralization. The Government indicates that the Five-year Socio-economic Development Plan (2011–15) is the result of broad consultation with all stakeholders at all levels. The Committee requests the Government to provide information indicating the progress achieved in the implementation of programmes directed to the well-being and development of the population and to the promotion of its desire for social progress, as required by the Convention.

Article 3. Improvement of living conditions in rural areas. The Committee notes that the reduction of regional inequalities and disparities is one of the overall objectives of the Five-year Socio-economic Development Plan (2011–15). Moreover, in the context of the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PSRP III, 2013–15), it is planned to reduce regional imbalances, particularly through the emergence of growth poles, the development of human capital and the balanced reinforcement of infrastructure to support growth. The Committee requests the Government to provide information indicating the progress achieved in reducing regional imbalances and improving the living conditions of the population in rural areas.
