regular basis at the end of each month. In the same vein, the State has begun to increase the wages of low-paid civil servants. 163. In Djibouti, major reforms have been undertaken in respect of regulations governing the exercise of employment rights in the private sector aimed at introducing greater flexibility, productivity, job creation, enhancing human capital and protecting a maximum number of workers. 164. Several texts have been adopted to this effect including Act No. 133/AN/05/5 th L on the Labour Code in Djibouti which put an end to the regulations that had been governing this sector since the colonial period. 165. Act No. 212/AN/07/5th L established the National Social Security Fund (CNSS), created by combining the Social protection agency (OPS) and the National retirement fund (CNR). It has, since 2007, been in charge of providing various services to workers under the general and special service regimes with the exception of the Djiboutian armed forces. In addition to these customary services, the CNSS has greatly improved social protection of workers that are not affiliated to the formal sector or are particularly vulnerable through the establishment of community-based healthcare centres, enhanced access to generic drugs and the establishment of a document certifying the lack of means so as to obtain free healthcare. The Government is currently working towards universal social protection for the entire population. 166. Significant investments made in the reform of the education system in Djibouti are a clear indication of the State’s commitment to enhance human capital and combat youth unemployment. For the past ten years, significant budget allocations to the education sector as well as the support of technical partners have greatly contributed to democratizing access to school at all levels. Vocational training has been incorporated into the prerogatives of the Ministry of Education since 2012 and a specific department created to this effect. 167. The State has undertaken other measures to guarantee the right to work for all: - The National employment, training and professional placement agency (ANEFIP), through its various activities (matching labour supply and demand, placement in firms and training centres, gathering, examining and disseminating statistical data…) supports effort to combat unemployment and the exclusion of vulnerable groups such as women and young people; - The FDED (….) was established to facilitate the creation of sustainable economic units by providing financing especially to students; - The Savings and credit fund (CPEC) has been financing various micro-projects since 2008 and aims to promote income-generating activities for women; - The National youth forum organized by the Department of Youth is a platform for exchange between public authorities (led by the Head of State) and young Djiboutians on issues of concern to young people including employment. 34
