comments:

All ILO staff involved in labour migration governance (project team, CO, RO, Headquarters etc). Tripartite partners and other stakeholders.

challenges:

Ideally, baseline survey should be conducted prior to the project starting, and this should be considered for the next phase of the project. In any further survey issues of gender equality mainstreaming should be considered more thoroughly, as should the development of a strategic approach to advocacy/information/communication and training. Survey research activities should be more firmly linked with M & E Plan.

success:

Findings of survey continue to be revisited and incorporated in project implementation

context:

Thorough Baseline Survey conducted.

description:

The project team has shown very good capacity to learn from and adapt to new information becoming available from research and studies or from reports of related projects. For example, the project baseline findings clearly indicated that the establishment of fair recruitment practices, accessible and thorough pre-departure orientation of migrant workers, and the better protection of migrant workers in destination countries reduces the number of people opting for irregular migration, and its consequences. This lesson has continued to inform all project activities.

administrative_issues:

The project team is best placed to guide future surveys along with support from elsewhere in ILO and other stakeholders.
