Technical Memorandum: Ethiopia Labour Inspection Audit.

This report contains a number of recommendations for consideration by MOLSA and their social partners. These recommendations relate to several broad themes, such as the need for a national policy on labour inspection, better communications and data collection, organization and planning, human and material resources and training. A particular focus of this audit was the role of labour inspectors in helping to combat HIV/AIDS, supporting the aims of the SIDA project “HIV/AIDS prevention and impact mitigation in the world of work in Sub- Saharan Africa”.

The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia is Africa’s second most
populous country with an estimated population of about 74.1 million (July 2008). It covers an area of about 1,100,000 square kilometres and borders Eritrea to the north, Sudan to the west, Kenya to the south, Somalia to the east and Djibouti to the north-east. There is a significant movement of people into and out of Ethiopia.
Amharic is the principal language of the country, though the main ethnic groups have their own languages too.
In 1994, the country drafted a new Constitution, which gave it a Federal
parliamentary government, based in Addis Ababa, and nine ethnically based
Regional States, each with a fair degree of autonomy1. In more recent years, Addis Ababa has become a capital city of some importance in Africa, as it now hosts the African or regional headquarters of several international organisations, including the African Union, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and the
International Labour Office.
