comments:

1. This meeting could also discuss how a potential future-programming phase could better interlink and synergize with women’s economic empowerment efforts within origin communities. 2. While Safe and Fair will explore collaboration with other programmes and agencies, and share its materials and knowledge products on EVAW, ultimately the inclusion of the knowledge products and approaches to address EVAW will rest on the other programme’s and their partners’ priorities. 3. The Regional Service Directory referred to in the key action can be accessed here: https://asiapacific.unwomen.org/en/digital-library/publications/2020/09/service-directory-for-women-migrant-workers-in-the-asean-region 4. Safe and Fair will continue to join knowledge management discussions and contribute and share evidence and knowledge created by the programme with the global Spotlight community.

title:

Further collaborate with other UN labour migration programmes across the region to promote enhanced synergies around engaging recruiters and employers and providing financial training and business support to returning women migrant workers. • Aligned with Conclusion #1 • Recommended timeline: August 1st 2021 – December 30th, 2022 • High urgency, medium difficulty, high impact • Directed to SAF Regional Programming Team Rationale: There are clear opportunities for the Safe and Fair Programme to expand its reach and better support returnee women migrant workers by partnering with other UN labour migration programmes in the region. To operationalize this recommendation: • Meet with the PROMISE team to identify potential entry points for any additional programming or synergies that could be feasibly leveraged before the end of the Safe and Fair Programme in order to further strengthen the economic empowerment of returning women migrant workers at the community level. This meeting should also discuss how a potential future-programming phase could better interlink and synergize with women’s economic empowerment efforts within origin communities. • Meet with the TRIANGLE team to identify how the programme’s EVAW training materials could be integrated into TRIANGLE’s work during the Covid-19 pandemic and post-pandemic to better sensitize its network of recruiters and their associations. • Further collaborate with IOM’s IRIS team to facilitate the integration of EVAW training across IRIS’s network of recruiters. This could include conducting some train-the-trainer sessions and sharing EVAW training materials so that IRIS trainings can better reflect EVAW priorities.
