- themes:
- theme:
- Tripartism & constituent partnerships
- category:
- Organizational issues
- comments:
- ILO HQ; ILO ROAS; ILO Doha Project Office; Government of Qatar; Private Sector.
- challenges:
- Lack of support from national institutions for the ILO’s tripartite model and for the promotion of social dialogue and call for an alternate “third way”. The absence of freedom of association and trade unions and the limited ratification of ILO core conventions in Qatar will continue to cause an impediment for developing a holistic discourse around labour rights and reforms. Promoting the normative values and standards of the ILO would facilitate the work of the ILO project office and drive forward future work on reform and respect for labour rights.
- success:
- Willingness of the ILO to expand country support and promote international labour standards.
- context:
- Qatar has ratified a small number of ILO Conventions: C029; C105; C111; C138; C182; C081.
- description:
- The normative role and tripartite nature of the ILO should be promoted beyond the work of the TCP. There is an overlap between the role of the project office and the role of the ILO. The broader mandate of the ILO should be strengthened and clarified. Other government institutions and society must be aware that the ILO also provides technical advisory services related to the priorities of the national workforce and employers. This would improve the positioning of the ILO office in Qatar and enables a smoother engagement with employers and the private sector. This could also be extended to raising awareness about the SDGs in Qatar especially amongst government institutions, the private sectors, and society in general. There is a need to raise awareness, including about SDG 8 on decent work.
- administrative_issues:
- Project design might be informed by a comprehensive national market labour analysis with identification of entry points across the ILO’s range of policy and technical assistance areas.
