- Returnees and potential migrants.
- challenges:
- Each country has its own political, economic, social and cultural context. There is a need to adjust the existing tools and practices, according to capacities and existing legislation in each country. For example, mobile money was not included among the financial tools used by the project, but there is a possibility to use it. Certain loan provisions should be adapted according to cultural and religious practices.
- success:
- Within the six months of implementation the project has achieved considerable results and many potential migrants and returnees were supported in their needs to improve their skills for a better employability or to start their own business.
- context:
- The role of key stakeholders should be clearly identified and agreed to bring long-lasting changes. On overall, the governments should assume responsibility for the ratification of ILO Conventions, their domestication into national law, coordination with employment agencies, national employment regulatory authorities and trade unions.
The responsibility of the Ministry of Labour and Skills in Ethiopia, for example, should include follow-up and facilitation of different services that are mandatory to sustain the businesses of returnees and potential migrants.
- description:
- The discrepancy between the scale of returnees and the service provision is worrying, as evidenced by available data and many interview respondents. For example, in Ethiopia and Kenya, the financial sector is not so well developed, and there are opportunities to test different technical skill-related training and financial products. Longer partnership agreements between ILO projects and Banks, financial institutions and NGOs and the need to develop interest-free products to align these services to religious beliefs in Ethiopia were considered factors considered in the project's future design and planning stage.
