ILO Doha Project Office

challenges:

Limited receptiveness and awareness about the reforms amongst employers in the private sector and employers of domestic workers due to lack of adequate communication. Lack of awareness amongst workers especially new arrivals in Qatar due to limited awareness raising during pre-departure briefings in sending countries.

success:

-

context:

Improved coordination with the Government (MOL PR Department and Government Communication Office) to create more media friendly content in Arabic and better distribute the existing outputs with local outlets could have contributed to improving the receptiveness of the labour reforms among some parts of society – both employers in the private sector and employers of domestic workers.

description:

The reach and impact of communication materials remain unclear. This is partially because of limited coordination with the Government about their communication objectives, the perceived challenges, etc. The joint distribution (rather than just on the ILO channels) of some of these educational and informative materials among workers and employers would have maximized awareness of the newly adopted legislation. The TCP did share all these materials with embassies, NGO partners and ILO offices in countries of origin. Additionally, enhanced technical cooperation with ILO offices in sending countries could have amplified the impact of communication products, particularly during pre-departure briefings that migrant workers receive.
