Repetition

Parts I and II of the Convention. Improvement of standards of living. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to the observations of the General Confederation of Workers’ Unions of Madagascar (FISEMA), received on 2 September 2013. The FISEMA has previously expressed disappointment at the abandonment of the Plan of Action for Madagascar (MAP), without informing the social partners, and the refusal of the Ministry of the Public Service, Labour and Social Legislation to examine a draft reform of the Social Welfare Code (CPS). In its reply, the Government indicates that the National Development Plan, which will replace the MAP, will be adopted before the end of 2015. The Government adds that it fully accepts the reform of the CPS. In reply to the 2013 request, the Government indicates that the social policy of the State is orientated towards the improvement of access to basic social services and the reinforcement of human capital. The Committee hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to provide updated information on the manner in which the provisions of the Convention, which envisage that “[a]ll policies shall be primarily directed to the well-being and development of the population”, have been taken into account in the formulation and implementation of the measures adopted in the context of the general Sate policy (Article 1 of the Convention). Please also provide information on the measures taken to improve living conditions in rural areas, increase productive capacity and improve the standards of living of workers in the informal economy (Articles 3 and 4).
