- context:
- Community based orientation and guidance work for prospective, existing and returnee migrant workers, coupled with the necessity of working with CSOs that represent women migrant workers. It is essential in this work therefore to work outside the ILO’s conventional tripartite partners, even if they need to remain included in processes.
- description:
- Quality and commitment of local partners.
An additional related lesson that applies to the Middle East too, is the importance of working with local partners that are embedded in local communities and structures, understand the importance and means to facilitate processes, and are brave and committed in what they do. Commitment includes the ability and willingness to engage in advocacy related work where necessary, and thus to challenge power, since the way in which recruitment works will not be shifted by other means.
In Lebanon, the importance of having partners that have developed and learned together with WIF was mentioned, rather than just seeing WIF as another donor.
In South Asia, strong community based organisations have been recruited as local partners and this has made a huge difference to the quality of the work too.
