- comments:
- The direct beneficiaries are the potential and returnee migrants.
- challenges:
- A major challenge is reaching the grass-root level where irregular migration is frequent and where returnees come back. The project has partnered with unions and associations that have better access to this level.
Access to loans have been a challenge. The demand was more of establishing a Sacco system.
- success:
- The trainings have been beneficiary to all. Many returnee migrants have started their business and intend to grow. The trainers have been very much involved and active in transmitting. The returnee migrants are organising themselves to also transmit their experiences, knowledge gained and inform the grass-root level. This is a major contribution.
- context:
- Important number of risks of irregular labour migration in EHoA countries for potential migrants, needing information on safe and regular migration channels but also recognition of skills, their development and, the protection of their rights. Similarly, there is an important number of returnee migrants’ needing reintegration together with recognition of skills and entrepreneurship.
- description:
- 2 – Training programs have proven essential in empowering potential and returned migrants, fostering entrepreneurial skills and self-reliance. The trainings success was mainly in building capacities of entrepreneurship with returnee migrants and also potential. The trainings empowered the returnee migrants making them self-reliant.
They had a multiplier effect because other NGOs, especially working with women returnee migrants, asked to have the same trainings.
- administrative_issues:
- ILO has been very successful in partnering with Unions, associations and banks.
ILO needs to follow-up these results with trainees and see how to support their initiative in informing the grassroot level.
