WHAT: National Launch of the Project “Catalytic Actions of the AU-ILO-IOM-ECA Joint Program on Labour Migration Governance for Development and Integration in Africa (JLMP-Action)” in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. |
|
WHEN: Monday, 25 July 2022, starting from 09:30AM EAT. |
|
WHERE: The Launch and Capacity building workshop will be held at Hyatt Regency Hotel. |
WHY: The JLMP Action project kicked off in June 2021 to contribute to the JLMP objective of strengthening effective governance, and regulation of labour migration and mobility, for enhanced sustainable development, inclusive economic growth, and regional integration of the African Continent. The launch will be held by the Government of Ethiopia through the ministry of labour and skills development, national stakeholders in collaboration with the African Union Commission (AUC), International Labour Organization (ILO), International Organization for Migration (IOM), Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), Swedish International Development Agency (Sida), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). The implementation of the JLMP-Action project in Ethiopia will be aligned with national policies and strategies, as well as on-going initiatives with the aim of promoting the implementation of existing frameworks on labour migration in line with international standards and strengthening institutional coordination among relevant actors. National structures will also be supported to develop mechanisms for timely collection, analysis, and dissemination of gender-disaggregated data to inform gender-responsive labour migration policy development and implementation. The launch event will be preceded by a Capacity building workshop for labour migration actors on labour migration governance and administration.
The objectives of the national launch are as follows:
- To present the JLMP and JLMP-Action to partners for buy-in and ownership, for successful project implementation
- To garner greater understanding of Ethiopia’s efforts to promote labour migration governance and seek to align project interventions with Ethiopia’s policies, strategies, and programmes on labour migration governance.
- To strengthen the understanding of national actors on key concepts related to migration, labour, and employment, as well as recent developments and perspectives related to labour migration at national, regional, and continental level.
- To discuss the inception report and the implementation roadmap for the development of a national labour migration policy and plan of action for Ethiopia.
Journalists are invited to cover the National Launch of the Project “Catalytic Actions of the AU-ILO- IOM-ECA Joint Program on Labour Migration Governance for Development and Integration in Africa (JLMP-Action)” in Ethiopia
