comments:

The project always worked in very straight collaboration with employers' organisations and representatives of the private sector.

action_plan:

Activities 1.2.1 + 1.2.2. + 1.2.3. involving work with employers organisations and the private sector to promote fair recruitment and decent employment for migrant workers. Work intensified in 2024 with employers’ organisations to design or implement a policy, charter or other instrument on the recruitment and employment of migrant workers: SADC Private Sector Forum (GCM Pledge), Indian Ocean Cap Business (Recommendations), Namibia’s Employers‘ Organisation creation of a bilateral network on labour migration with trade unions (NETUMN) including work on fair recruitment; and Mauritius employers adoption of the CSTOI Code of Conduct for Mauritius Export Association (MEXA) + IOC Employers and Business Organisations validation of the IOC Code of Conduct and Self-Assessment Tool on the fair recruitment of migrant workers + Mauritius, 2024 Private Recruitment Agencies Regulation promulgated).

title:

There is a need for the project to develop a strategic action plan to engage the private sector experts for meetings and training. Whilst this may not have been the intention of the project, taking it for granted that the private sector has the understanding, willingness, and capacity to get involved, considering they are the greatest employers and beneficiaries of labour migration could be retrogressive for the impact and sustainability of the results of the project.
