comments:

Governments (ACMW/ALM and SLOM), ASEC, Employers and Workers Organizations at regional/ASEAN level (ACE and ATUC), Civil Society (TFAMW) and ILO.

challenges:

ASEAN works with a system of consensus, which may delay matters when countries are divided, as in the case of migration issues, between sending and receiving countries. The logistics (including the costs involved) of bringing participants from ten countries together remains a challenge.

success:

Innovative avenues for engagement, enhanced dialogue, enhanced knowledge sharing, enhanced sense of ownership, and thus enhanced commitment of stakeholders. Sharing of knowledge and expertise among the countries with vastly diverging experiences regarding migration issues enhances the capacity of all those involved through mutual understanding and enhanced possibilities of cooperation and collaboration.

context:

ATP has clearly succeeded in putting the migration debate on the map in the ASEAN region, and has also opened up new avenues for engagement with ASEAN for the social partners; these include in particular the yearly AFML, training seminars, the joint ACE-ATUC meeting, as well as the joint workshops on specific topics, such as ILMS Database, labor inspection, and economic integration within ASEAN, etc. Stakeholders are actively involved and a genuine dialogue has developed. Most of them expressed their appreciation for the possibility of being able to learn from each other on migration issues and policies.

description:

The specific Tripartite-Plus approach has created innovative avenues for engagement. The involvement of tripartite partners and civil society in policy discussions, training sessions and formal meetings has not only put the migration debate on the map in the ASEAN region, but has also substantially enhanced dialogue, knowledge sharing, sense of ownership and thus commitment.

administrative_issues:

The value of the exchanges is praised by all parties without exception and the project/ILO is considered as a neutral facilitator with strong technical capacity, and ILO has put itself on the map as the organization to liaise with when dealing with migration issues in the region
