He emphasized that the Labour Code should be aligned to the principles of social justice and tripartite dialogue. On the occasion of finalizing the Labour Code, the Federal Minister for Labour & Social Affairs (MoLSA), Mr Salah Jama, thanked ILO for extending the technical support for revising the Labour Code and also thanked all participants of the workshop for their ample feedback. The final draft is not only aligned with the Somalia’s economic and social context – but also complies with the International Labour Standards and other UN Conventions ratified by the Government of Somalia. The process for revision took many months to complete – after getting ample feedback and inputs from all stakeholders including the Government (Federal and Federal Member States), Employers, Workers, UN Agencies, Donors and civil society organizations over a period of almost two years. The draft Labour Code to revise the 1972 Labour Code has been developed by the Ministry of Labour & Social Affairs (MoLSA) in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO).
Representatives from various Ministries of the Federal Government of Somalia, all Federal Member States, Employers, Workers, and academia adopted a consensus draft of the Labour Code and agreed to send it to the Parliament for legislation – after necessary procedures. Mogadishu (ILO News): The revised Labour Code for Somalia was finalized in a 2-day tripartite workshop held in Mogadishu on 20-21 February 2019.
