description:

Including both countries in a migrant corridor in a programme ensures easier collaboration between stakeholders.

context:

The programme operates in sending countries in two contexts, those which are sending migrants to other countries included in the programme (Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam to Thailand), and Vietnam and the Philippines whose main migration corridors is with Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The Philippines and Indonesia have a significant domestic labour market for fishing and seafood processing.

success:

Migrants to Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Myanmar, mainly go to Thailand. The programme has been able to work on bilateral interactions between governments (excepting Myanmar) and also between CSOs and workers’ organisations.

challenges:

Particularly in Vietnam, stakeholders referencing the gaps which exist by not being able to provide support at both ends of the migrant corridor. While the programme should still be able to provide useful pre-departure and reintegration support, there is a gap during migration the programme currently does not respond to.
