GMS TRIANGLE – Myanmar Activities/Tripartite Action to Protect Migrants within and from the Greater Mekong Sub-region from Labour Exploitation (GMS TRIANGLE)

The aim of this project is to reduce the exploitation of Myanmar labour migrants by contributing to the development of legal, safe and orderly recruitment channels and improved labour protection mechanisms. Government partners, workers' and employers' organizations will participate individually and jointly in each of the project objectives: strengthening policy, building the capacity of the tripartite constituents to support the implementation of national policy and regional frameworks, and delivering direct assistance to women and men migrants. As promoted in the ILO Multilateral Framework on Labour Migration and the ASEAN Social-Cultural Community Plan of Action, Civil Society Organizations, including women and youth groups with valuable frontline experience will also be engaged in the project activities. The project will primarily target women and men migrants working in domestic work, manufacturing, construction, agriculature and fishing. Direct recipients will be government officials; employers' organizations; recruitment agencies; workers' organizations; and civil society organizations with the ultimate beneficiaries being migrant men, women and children and potential migrants.
