Global Skills Partnership on Migration Flyer
29 September 2021
The Global Skills Partnership on Migration (GSPM) is an initiative between ILO, IOM, UNESCO, IOE and ITUC to join forces and mobilise expertise for the development and recognition of skills of migrant workers. It supports governments, employers and workers as well as their organisations, educational institutions and training providers, and other stakeholders to rethink migration in a way that is of mutual benefit to all stakeholders; principally migrant workers, including those who return (with a particular focus on women and youth), employers in need of skilled workforce, as well as the countries of origin and destination.

Training manual on the ILO Guidelines for skills modules in bilateral labour migration agreements (BLMAs)
01 April 2021
This training manual has been conceived to improve the capacity of stakeholders involved in the negotiation of BLMAs to address skills and qualifications challenges faced by migrant workers. The manual also reflects the new training approach adapted by the ILO to address the movement restrictions brought by the COVID-19 pandemic which have had an impact on the traditional face-to-face training delivery. It should be used in conjunction with the ‘Guidelines for skills modules in BLMAs’.

Manual on participatory assessment of policy coherence
01 April 2021
The manual is a continuation of the ILO work on promoting policy coherence in the context of labour migration and aims to reinforce the assessment methodologies by including all relevant stakeholders through a structured participatory approach. In this way, the data collection and analysis will be more effective and the proposals for the adjustments of the policy coherence consistent with the identified challenges. Using a participatory approach and increasing the awareness of all partners will also ensure better and more active participation in the implementation process, and in the recovery efforts as countries emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.
