recommendations:

title:

Maintain support for MFE and SLBFE to organize the crucial monitoring meetings more regularly (i.e. the NAC, PAC and NSCRR), and continue the organization of the quarterly PEPs on a rotating basis in the location of the particular CSO. In more detail, support should be considered to the official MTDFE/MFE’s objective laid down in the NLMP of promoting skilled workers migration and to discourage unskilled workers migration, although recent data indicate that skilled migration has decreased substantially from 2016 to 2017 implying that the policy is not (yet) effective. Regarding SLBFE, it would be advisable if the composition of its Board could ensure representation of migrant worker networks and advocacy groups, as well as a gender balance.

action_plan:

The Political situation in the country appears to be moving towards stability with a new Cabinet appointed (as at end December 2018). The Minister of Foreign Employment remains the same, therefore the Project will continue to push towards more regular and strategic meetings.
