description:

The project was tasked with institution and capacity strengthening as well as support for legal and policy framework development. Providing field trips to other countries for key government and other stakeholders to learn about best practices on Migrant Domestic Workers was a good practice in this regard..
The project made maximum use of the knowledge and experience of other countries, which evaluation interviewees appreciated particularly. All stakeholders who attended field trips to other countries, notably the Philippines, reported in great detail about how their capacities had been strengthened as they learned about useful strategies and specific approaches that can be used to address challenges with respect to migration of domestic workers. More importantly, these stakeholders pointed to steps that they had undertaken or directly supported to implement what they had learned on their field trips. Such trips were frequently questioned prior to being approved because of their relatively high cost. If well planned and with clearly expected results targets, however, these trips can be particularly useful for projects that focus on the enabling environment. When government officials and other stakeholders see that other countries are able to address major development issues in a constructive manner, the field trips can serve as effective advocacy tools.
