A/HRC/8/29 Page 12 Ultimately, this process of consultation has reinforced the links between the institutions and the civil society. Finally, much progress has been made on employment. In the 1980s, as a result of structural adjustment programmes, 400,000 jobs were lost and unemployment reached 70 per cent of the manpower. Also owing to the improvement of the security situation, prospects are now much better, especially in the sector of construction, both private and public. In the future, the building of large public infrastructures should allow the creation of 2 million jobs. II. CONCLUSIONS AND/OR RECOMMENDATIONS 69.
