Application of Migration Policy for Decent Work for Migrant Workers – Phase II

This project builds on the success of “Promoting Decent Work through improved Migration Policy and its Application in Bangladesh”, operated during 2011-2015, which supported Bangladesh to launch and accelerate development in three areas: policy frameworks; operational effectiveness; and social protection. Later, the “Application of Migration Policy for Decent Work of Migrant Workers (BGD/15/01/SDC)”, operating during 2016-2018, built on that foundation to support the Government to move into full implementation of its policies and its progressive new Overseas Employment and Migration Act, 2013. The current project constitutes a continuation of the work under the previous phase (BGD/15/01/SDC). ILO thus continues to provide research and technical advisory support, facilitate social dialogue and stakeholder engagement, and support the implementation of pilots to test a range of strategies for migrant worker’s education, support and re-entry into the Bangladesh labour market. The project strengthens the overall policy and governance framework for migration; improving the institutions responsible for managing migration; and supports the development of expanded services to migrant workers.
