Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s reference in its report to the revision of the Labour Code and its indication that it is requesting ILO technical assistance in connection with the revision of the Code.

The Committee also notes the Government’s indications that efforts are being made to eliminate child labour through the adoption of the “National policy for the promotion and protection of the rights and well-being of children in Guinea” (PNPDBE).
