action_plan:

• The TCP documents experience through various means, including an annual report, technical reports, and articles. These are publicly available on the project website in English and Arabic. In addition, MOL and ILO participate in various international fora to share these experiences. • The ILO considers that engagement amongst peers is often the most effective manner of promoting good practices. In this respect, the MOL is well-positioned to share experiences as part of the GCC Labour Minister’s Meeting and the Arab Labour Conference, and through the GCC Executive Bureau and its participation in the Abu Dhabi Dialogue among the Asian Labour-Sending and Receiving Countries. The MOL has also documented and disseminated information using the platforms of the GCM Regional Review in February 2021 and the IMRF in May 2022. At the global level, Qatar participates in the Fair Recruitment Initiative Advisory Group. • The ILO has also facilitated the sharing of Qatar experience with other governments through regional meetings (e.g., upcoming regional dialogue on the climate change and migration nexus in the Arab region), and inter-regional meetings (e.g., the Africa-Arab States interregional tripartite meeting on labour migration in November 2021). The ILO and other UN agencies are working with the GCC Executive Bureau to document law and practice on absconding in GCC countries and other Arab States in the Middle East. • Looking forward, there will be more opportunities, including through the proposed inter-regional meeting between the Arab States and the African Union in 2023, and the proposed digital platform for decent work, which has received seed funding from the TCP.

Recommendation 3: Document and disseminate the results of the TCP Phase I among other GCC countries. MADLSA and the ILO Doha Project Office, with ROAS support, should systematize the features and key achievements of the Qatari labour reform process, and organize events to share this information, as an example of good practice, with ILO Member States in the Middle East and North African region, and particularly with GCC countries.
