- lessons_learned:
- description:
- Work done toward achieving policy changes was sometimes lost because of changes in the governments’ commitment. Continued pressure on policymakers would be needed to achieve results. However, this is not fully ensured after the end of the Programme. Some of the ILO staff involved in advocacy work will not remain in the country where they worked. Therefore, a clear advocacy strategy, which ensures the sustainability of partners who are involved in advocacy work, would be required to achieve, and maintain results.
- context:
- External pressures, such as COVID-19 and economic downturns, and political instability affected the priorities of most governments. Despite the major role migration plays in all countries’ economy and society, tackling problems was postponed. Finding can be extrapolated to problems connected to other populous minority groups (e.g., religious and ethnic minorities).
- success:
- Advocacy groups, notably among civil society organizations were established, and they are willing to continue to represent the needs of female migrant workers even in the face of difficulty.
- challenges:
- Governments at times, especially during instability in the country, have difficulties in addressing core social issues, such as migration. The advocacy work of Programmes who aim to represent disadvantaged groups must be strong and sustained to achieve results.
- administrative_issues:
- Extra resources should be given to advocacy work and research if a Programme is focusing on disadvantaged groups.

- Governments and advocacy groups.
