NEDLAC

The purpose of the National Economic, Development and Labour Council – NEDLAC – is to try and attain consensus between all the stakeholders in matters of public concern – business, labour, government and the community. The Council’s mandate, in a way, is to consider policies (in these areas) before they get put to Parliament for legislative enactment.

The National Economic, Development and Labour Council Act 1994 falls under the authority of the Minister of Labour.
