Ministry of Labor has been commended by the African Regional Labor Administrative Center (ARLAC) for exemplary leadership in Labor Administration in Africa and being a model for countries emerging from protracted conflict.
The commendations were made when the Minister of Labor Samuel Woods, II at the head of the Liberian delegation, participated in the 34th ARLAC Governing Council Meeting of African Ministers of Labor held in Kariba, Zimbabwe from February 25 - 29, 2008.
The commendation was made after Liberia cleared all of its outstanding indebtedness to ARLAC. Accordingly, the country is now eligible to benefit from the regional organization.
Liberia will benefit immensely from consultancy services, training and enhanced capacity-development for workers, employers and government. The meeting also finalized the establishment of a Post-graduate and Masters Program in Labor Administration.
ARLAC was founded in 1974 as the premier African regional Institution responsible to strengthen labor administration in member countries through training, research and advisory services.
ARLAC looks at practical real world solutions to meet the demands of today's changing economy, where new management thinking must reflect the interest of everyone in the world of work.
Today, ARLAC has the distinction of being one of the oldest regional institutions on the continent, which imparts training at the tripartite level, both at the national and regional levels in the field of labor administration, industrial relations, labor legislation, labor management and workers education.
Liberia was represented at the 34th Governing Council of Ministers of Labor by Minister Woods and Assistant Minister Cole Bangalu, Assistant Minister for Regional Labor Affairs and designates Union Affairs.
