description:

Awareness raising as the driver for change: Public and official awareness raising is very important because this aspect of the project's work is a major driver for change. The project demonstrates that its methodologies are able to raise awareness in sending communities and to help generate dialogue and mechanisms accordingly. Linking these with economic/livelihoods development is a project strength. The challenges for the future are to further raise public awareness in the more rural, poorer and remote areas from which significant numbers of migrant workers come and to help Indonesia scale up efforts to meet the major needs of thousands of sending communities. Efforts to more closely link district legislative work with village programs are likely to be beneficial. In the wider region, progress has been excellent as far as the work being done by trade unions, migrant worker associations and NGO organisations. The challenge is to translate this now into effective advocacy programs that will influence entrenched public opinion (particularly among employers of migrant domestic workers) and convince reluctant governments that more comprehensive policy and legislation support for migrant workers is urgently required.
