Introduction
The ILO office in Haiti is responsible for implementing the Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) agreed upon by all ILO partners (Government, Employers and Workers) in 2015. This DWCP will be implemented until 2020.
To implement this DWCP, the ILO Office in Haiti is implementing various activities and projects:
On priority 1, the ILO is reinforcing the capacity of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour (MAST) to comply with its reporting on the conventions (25)
1° Better Work: this project is implemented since 2009 in Haiti and represents today 53,000 jobs (1/8 of formal jobs in Haiti) and USD 1 billion worth exports (90% of national export).
2° Fight against domestic child labour: 400.000 children are reported to work as domestics, among which 207,000 experience unacceptable forms of child labour.
3° Vocational Training for Rural Development (FOPRODER)
4° Non-discrimination of HIV/AIDS affected workers in the workplace
On priority 3, the ILO has undertaken an audit on the functioning of social security institutions in Haiti and is collaborating with WFP.
On priority 4, the ILO is supporting its tripartite constituents through the Better Work project and through the reinforcement of its tripartite bodies.
All this work is taking place in a quite difficult context of insecurity caused by the worsening of the economic and social situation of the country and the high level of political corruption that has pushed thousands of people in the street demonstrating, sometimes violently to request the resignation of high-level officials.
