Case study - Example of an Enabling Environment Analysis in Swaziland done in 2011

The conclusions reached at the 2007 ILC discussion on the promotion of sustainable enterprises identified, among other things, 17 pillars for an environment conducive to the promotion of sustainable enterprises. This report is based on these conclusions. It analyses how the country performs with respect to each pillar, with the aim of assessing the relative strengths and weaknesses of the enabling environment for sustainable enterprises and employment in Swaziland.

This report incorporates the results of a joint International Labour Organization (ILO) and Federation of Swaziland Employers and Chamber of Commerce (FSE&CC) opinion or perceptions survey of both employers and employees, undertaken in Swaziland in late 2009 and which was also based on the 17 pillars. The 17 pillars are grouped into political, economic, social and environmental elements.
