Ms. Gloria Beatriz Gaviria Ramos, Chief, Oficina de Cooperación y Relaciones Internacionales, Ministerio del Trabajo, Colombia describes the benefit of a single office responsible for coordination.

“The Ministry of Labour is responsible for coordinating everything concerned with international labour standards and compliance with the Conventions, and has a coordination office for this purpose, which is responsible for notifying all other stakeholders who are connected with certain Conventions, to ensure compliance with the Conventions and also for the drawing up of reports.”
