Providing support on labour market reintegration to returned migrant workers and their family members through close collaboration with Ministries of labour

Some of this work can include to strengthen labour market absorption capacity and income-generating opportunities for the host community and returnees by exploring decent work opportunities, highlighting the key role of vocational training and enterprise development (particularly micro, small and medium-size enterprises). It can also include carrying out skills profiling and counselling of returnee migrant workers in order to assess labour market absorption possibilities and identifying economic-growth sectors as well as informing on TVET needs and expectations for skills development, upgrading and recognition.

• In July 2017, the ILO, with funding through the EU and in close collaboration with the MOLSA, developed a national reintegration package which provides a comprehensive and holistic reintegration for returnees in Ethiopia and serves as a point of reference for the government of Ethiopia and civil society organizations working in the support of returned migrants.
