Integrated Programme on Fair Recruitment (Nepal component)

This global project seeks to contribute to the promotion of fair recruitment initiatives across migration corridors in North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. The corresponding project strategy is based on a three-pronged approach: 1) establishing fair recruitment corridors to prevent abuses and exploitation of migrant workers; 2) providing migrant workers with access to reliable information and improved services and 3) conducting innovative research and disseminating knowledge on ethical recruitment. These components will be implemented through several pilot initiatives at the global and country level. Target countries for pilot projects proposed in this concept note include Tunisia, Jordan, Nepal and the Philippines. The strategy will apply a multi-stakeholder approach in conjunction with governments, trade unions, employers’ organisations and the media. This integrated project has been developed jointly by the ILO’s Special Action Programme to Combat Forced Labour (FPRW/SAP-FL) and the Labour Migration Branch (MIGRANT).
