ABSTRACT

This study addresses the development and challenges of tripartite institutions on the African continent. These institutions, which are not well-known in South Korea, make up a significant portion of the member states of International Association of Economic and Social Councils and Similar Institutions (AICESIS) and were established relatively early in many countries. For the purpose of this research, tripartite consultation institutions are categorized into labor advisory bodies, social dialogue bodies, and civil dialogue bodies. The study also examines the historical background in which trade unions, by participating in the independence movement, acquired political and social attributes. In conclusion, tripartite institutions in Africa emerged in the 1960s during the independence period, influenced by the political systems of the colonial powers. These institutions were established to enable trade unions and social organizations, which had contributed to the independence process, to participate in the national reconstruction process. Subsequently, in the 1990s, these institutions were reformed or expanded during the democratization process. A recent notable development is the emergence of social dialogue institutions centered on labor agreements in Tunisia. As Africa faces new changes, social dialogue is confronted with the challenge of enabling social actors to exert more decisive influence on socio-economic issues, through innovation aimed at including the informal economy and facilitating multilayered dialogue.
