Skills partnerships on migration
The ILO conducted 13 country studies and 2 sub-regional studies identifying the potential for skills partnerships on migration between different countries and key skills stakeholders.
Skills partnerships can contribute to more effective tapping of the potential of migrants. Such partnerships can be an innovative mechanism for maximizing brain gain, or the knowledge and skills of migrants, both in origin and destination countries.
Ultimately, these partnerships help skills development systems become more inclusive, migration more demand-led and migrant workers better prepared, protected and able to utilize their skills.
The highest incidence of low- and semi-skilled migration on the African continent is found in the Central African, West-African and Sahel regions. As part of the SKILL-UP Programme, supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the ILO assisted constituents in developing implementable and potentially scalable ideas for skills partnerships between countries and along migration corridors in a tripartite consultative manner.
With a team of national and international experts, the ILO conducted 13 country studies and two sub-regional studies identifying the potential for skills partnerships on migration between different countries and skills institutions, including ministries, training providers, employment services, sectoral bodies and employers’ and workers’ organizations.
These studies provided inputs for two tripartite workshops organized by the ILO in West Africa and the Sahel, and in Central Africa.
