The Office broadly agrees with the recommendation to strengthen support from and collaboration among regional labour migration specialists. The Office has taken steps to strengthen the regional strategic workplan for labour migration, bringing all regional and subregional spcialists together. ILO notes, for ex., that Labour Migration specialists are already part of Decent work teams at sub-regional levels, which aim to be multidisciplinary. Furthermore, LM specialists are members of a Global Technical Team coordinated by MIGRANT and also coordinate at subregional and regional levels

title:

Strengthen and cohere migration specialist teams at regional level. FAIRWAY is very reliant on the support provided by regional and global technical staff, especially those with experience working on migration issues within the two regions. However, there is an ad hoc nature to this support, given that FAIRWAY itself does not have the resources to pay proportions of these staffs’ salaries. This is particularly in Africa where staff are based in different regions with the continent. We would recommend, that as it has done for Decent Work, ILO establishes migration teams that are organised to work together and support country offices and regional programmes of this nature in a more joined-up manner. At present the different regional specialists themselves seem to provide technical support as drawn upon, but do not work in a particularly collaborative way. This is a little different in the Beirut regional office, again because of the juxtaposition of staff in a single office, and because of the centrality of labour migration to all labour rights work within the region. In Africa, with regional specialists located in several different countries it is more challenging to ensure a consistent support strategy.
