It appraises the effectiveness of the mechanisms established under the Act towards ensuring adequate welfare of injured employees and the compliance of the Act with ILO standards. It also focuses on the employment injuries compensation scheme established under the Employees Compensation Act 2010 and examines the scheme within the context  of its objective, workforce covered, financing, compensable injuries and compensation, and administration of the Act; and the extent to which the scheme is in tandem with international labour standards.
