ILO helps Vietnam lay foundations for new industrial relations framework
Through the project, Vietnam is expected to formulate national labor legal instruments consistent with the 1998 ILO Declaration and work for a better-functioning labor administration system for the new industrial relations framework.
Vietnam's Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) have signed a project titled “Project on promoting the development of a new industrial relations framework in respect of the ILO Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work” (NIRF project).
The project, worth US$4.3 million, aims to lay the legal and institutional foundations for a new industrial relations framework, based on the 1998 ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, in consideration of the actual context in Vietnam.
Accordingly, the project, will be funded by the US Department of Labor and Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in the form of official development assistance. Its implementing partners include the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour.
Through the project, Vietnam is expected to formulate national labor legal instruments consistent with the 1998 ILO Declaration and work for a better-functioning labor administration system for the new industrial relations framework, a more effective labor inspection to enforce and promote compliance and enhanced representation of workers and employers.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Deputy Minister of MoLISA Doan Mau Diep said that the project plays an important role in addressing the existing gaps in the industrial system, thus helping to build harmonious industrial relations at grassroots level in line with Party guidelines.
In addition, Deputy Minister Doan Mau Diep listed the gaps to fix, including labor regulations not compliant with ILO standards and State inefficient management capacity of industrial relations.
Deputy Doan Mau Diep expects the NIRF project to support Vietnam in advancing its labour law reform in line with international standards and in consideration of the country’s socio-economic development to reach its international integration goal.
