Development of Internal and International Labour Migration Governance in Myanmar

The ILO is requesting an 18 month cost extension of the Development of Internal and International Labour Migration Governance Policy (DIILM) project in order to ensure that the key planned outcomes of the initial project are achieved and to build on the achievements and lessons learnt thus far to harness decent work opportunities and positive migration experiences through strengthened migration and decent work governance frameworks. The cost extension’s Theory of Change maintains the key elements of the first phase of the Project with slight adjustments to recognise the progress made thus far and the gaps and opportunities identified. The first component maintains Policy Outcome 1 focussing on strengthening the governance of international labour migration. The second component builds on the original Policy Outcome 2, by continuing to provide technical input into developing legal protection of domestic workers through national laws and international standards but also adds a new approach with a focus on promoting recognition of the vocational skills needed by domestic workers and advocating for the adoption of a National Competency Standard for domestic workers. The third component develops a new Policy Outcome building on areas which were developed during the first phase including more inclusive social protection, improvement of the Complaints mechanism, and recognising the skills of returned migrants. The fourth component continues to support the contribution of the project to developing greater understanding of labour migration and decent work through the creation of and participation in migration knowledge platforms.
