description:

Fairway has published White Papers on issues such as recruitment of low-skilled migrant workers, Kafala reform, construction company bankruptcies, etc. In order to use the knowledge created, it has conducted multi-stakeholder dialogues on many of its studies and publications. These have served to bring the stakeholders on board and to create their ownership of the study findings, laying a foundation for further advocacy. National and regional workshops which are focused on key issues relating to labour migration have been organized with the same objective too. Examples include: • Dissemination of Fairway’s research publication on recruitment, to more than 1,000 individual contacts. The FAIRWAY team has also used the publication during missions and policy dialogues to promote key policy and legislative reforms including the establishment of joint and several liability systems and government-to-government recruitment in the project countries. • The FAIRWAY research on comparative analysis between Jordanian legislation and the provisions of the ILO Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), was used by the Jordanian Ministry of Labour which set up a committee to develop revised legislation on domestic work. • Fairway supported dissemination and awareness-raising of the ILO General Principles and Operational Guidelines for Fair Recruitment across the region, including through a national consultation on recruitment in Kuwait (April 2018); technical training with Ministry of Labour officials in Jordan (July 2018), and guidance to companies in Kuwait (April 2018) and Bahrain (September 2018). So far, no direct impact can be tracked, but the workshops open and continue discussions on issues of registration criteria, responsibilities, recruitment fees and other issues relating to recruitment of migrant workers.
