Priority Implementation actions of the AU-ILO-IOM-ECA Joint Programme on Labour Migration Governance for Development and Integration in Africa (JLMP Priority)

The proposed intervention –JLMP Priority Implementation Actions (JLMP Priority) -foresees a series of coordinated and simultaneous interventions implemented across two main thematic domains: governance and operational implementation. The governance domain addresses the critical need to develop in concert the four cardinal pillars of labour migration governance: 1) laws and regulative frameworks based on international labour standards, 2) viable and comprehensive policies developed in coherence across various sectors such as overall development, migration, employment and education, 3) strengthening core institutions responsible for labour migration governance such as relevant government Ministries (e.g. Ministries of migration, of labour, education, of justice, foreign affairs etc.), and 4) engaging stakeholders in a whole of society approach, including social or “World of Work” actors (Ministries of labour, and employers and workers’ organizations);migration organizations and associations, cooperation among the main employment and labour market institutions, diaspora associations, academia, media etc. The operational implementation component covers key inter-dependent technical operational areas: decent work and social protection for migrant workers and their families with effective application of labour standards and ethical recruitment, addressing the key constraints of skills shortages and increasing recognition of qualifications, and obtaining relevant and comparable labour migration and labour market data and knowledge for governance of labour migration and protection of migrants. Each of these reflects a specific area of standards, policies and technical competences, each addresses distinct institutions and constellations of stakeholders, and each intersects with different international actors and distinct migration, employment and labour market structures.
