Technical cooperation projects

  • ILO/Spain cooperation for better migration policies

    Technical assistance to better manage migratory flows from Senegal, Mauritania and Mali to Spain.

    The ILO has recently launched a project covering Senegal, Mauritania and Mali designed to support efforts to maximise social and economic benefits of migration for the region of the Sahel, for Spain, and for migrant workers, in line with the principles of equality and non discrimination.

    Strengthening institutions on migration to contribute to the development of Andean countries.
    In January 2008, the ILO launched a two year project focusing on migratory flows from Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and the Andean Community towards Spain. The project aims at establishing an inter-sectoral coordination mechanism on labour migration in each country and it will contribute improving labour migration governance and regulation of migration policies through a better information.

  • Technical cooperation in Europe

    Cooperation expanded with the Russian Federation, Caucasus and Central Asian Countries.

    The ILO initiated in mid 2006 full operations of a major technical cooperation project:
    Towards sustainable partnerships for the effective governance of labour migration in the Russian Federation, the Caucasus and Central Asia.

    This three-year project promoting sustainable governance of labour migration in the Russian Federation, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan is co-financed by the European Commission and ILO. Its purposes are to a) research labour market conditions and foreign employment requirements as well as national challenges of protecting migrants' rights and maximizing beneficial impacts of migration; b) set tripartite labour migration policies and objectives; c) develop legislation to provide a legal basis for policy implementation; and d) establish necessary structures and institutions to administer labour migration.

  • New in 2008:

    Complementary to the partnership project mentioned above, a new project Regulating labour migration as an instrument of development and regional cooperation will initiate operations in Central Asia in March 2008. This project focuses on policy frameworks, strategies and mechanisms for regulating labour migration as an instrument for development and cooperation in and among Central Asia countries, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan. It will strengthen institutional structures on labour migration, build capacity of social partners to participate in labour migration policy and administration, and strengthen international dialogue and cooperative mechanisms for regulating labour migration among the Central Asian countries.
