comments:

Migrant workers, government policymakers, regional bodies like ASEAN, and stakeholders involved in migration governance.

challenges:

The lack of a unified policy approach across ASEAN member states hindered the creation of comprehensive protections. Policy discrepancies created legal gaps and enforcement challenges, affecting the rights and well-being of migrant workers. Regional coordination efforts were limited by differences in national priorities and regulatory capacities.

success:

Where coordination with ASEAN mechanisms is prioritized, there may be positive developments in aligning policy frameworks and enhancing regional collaboration. Initiatives that foster dialogue and shared best practices contribute to incremental progress in harmonizing regulations.

context:

The S2SR program worked within a diverse regional context, where national policies varied significantly. Despite individual progress, the absence of harmonized frameworks at the regional level led to fragmented protections for migrant workers.

description:

Greater regional collaboration within ASEAN is essential to align legal and policy frameworks, ensuring consistent protections for migrant workers across Southeast Asia.
