Context:
The
African Union (AU)-International Labour Organization
(ILO)-International Organization for Migration (IOM)- Economic
Commission for Africa (ECA) Joint Programme on Labour Migration
Governance for Development and Integration (the Joint Labour Migration
Programme (JLMP) in Africa is a long-term joint undertaking between the
four organizations, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The JLMP is an implementation instrument of the 5th Key Priority Area
of the Declaration and Plan of Action on Employment, Poverty Eradication
and Inclusive Development adopted by the Assembly of Heads of States
and Governments (AU/Assembly/AU/20(XXIV)/Annex on 3, January 2015) in
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, January 2015; Its strategy is focuses on
intra-African labour migration, in line with and supports the
achievement of the First 2023 Ten Year Plan of the AU Agenda 2063 and of
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Programme conducts
coordinated and simultaneous interventions across two main thematic
areas: governance and operational implementation.
The
governance component addresses the critical need to develop in concert
the four cardinal pillars of labour migration governance: law based on
international labour standards, establishing viable and coherent policy,
strengthening core institutions, and engaging a whole society approach
stakeholders including World of Work actors (Ministries of Labour, and
employers and workers’ organizations) relevant Ministries, diaspora
associations, migration organizations and associations, academia, among
others and cooperation among the main employment and labour market
economic actors at the national, regional and international levels.
The operational implementation component covers key inter-dependent technical operational areas: decent work and social protection for migrant workers and their families, addressing the key constraint of skills shortages, and obtaining essential data and knowledge for governance of labour migration and protection of migrants. Each of these reflects a specific area of standards and policy and technical competences, addresses distinct institutions and constellations of stakeholders, and each intersects with different international actors and distinct migration employment and labour market structures.
In
order to have a significant yet realistic take-off of the Programme, a
Three-Year Project was developed with the overall objective to improve
the governance of labour migration to achieve safer, orderly and regular
migration in Africa. The programme draws its mandate from relevant
frameworks of the AU and Regional Economic Commissions (RECs), as well
as international human rights and labour conventions. The programme
stands of four strategic pillars namely:-Enhance effectiveness and
transparency of operations of labour migration stakeholders, such as
migration authorities, labour market actors and institutions, in
consultations and cooperation with private sector and civil society
organizations, in delivering improved labour migration governance
services; Improve policy and regulatory systems on labour migration at
Member state and REC levels, taking into account the gender dimensions;
Multi stakeholder policy consultation and practical coordination on labour migration and mobility to provide advisory support to MSs’, AU’s and RECs’ decision makers and continental and regional operational leadership; and Capacity to spearhead/steer coordinate the implementation of the JLMP at all levels.
