The Governance on Labour Migration in Southeast Asia, is convened as a UN Joint Programme between the International Labour Organization (ILO), International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).

This programme aims to develop a regional qualifications framework, sometimes referred to as a common reference framework for South Asian countries. It is envisaged that the framework will provide the basis for recognition of mobility of labour and strengthen common understanding and cooperation in the region.
