- description:
- The Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) on labour migration in the Middle East was formed in 2016. It is composed of an external group of experts in migration and is envisaged to act as an advisory forum to ROAS providing high quality advice on the ILO strategy to advocate for policy change under the fair migration agenda in the region. Thus, PAC discussions have revolved around key topics such as recruitment practices of the migrant labour force, the sponsorship system (Kafala), dispute resolution, voice building and representation for migrant workers, and regional dialogue on labour migration among Middle Eastern countries and with countries of origin.
The external (non-ILO) members of the PAC are mostly academics, practitioners and representatives of social partners with a diverse range of expertise and experience encompassing different labour migration issues. PAC discussions are chaired by the Deputy Regional Director in ROAS (whenever possible) or by the Senior Migration Specialist. The Fairway project serves as the secretariat of the PAC (CTA and TO), preparing the meetings. The donor, SDC, has an observer seat.
The PAC is held twice per year and takes up topics of interest for the ILO which sets the agenda (proposed by Fairway). PAC members provide detailed analytical and practical advice on specific topics but also concerning entry strategies. PAC members are chosen on the base of their capacity to advance the ILO agenda through their contacts.
