The project aims to improve social and working conditions of the Panamanian migrant indigenous populations 'Bugle' and 'Ngäbe', along their entire migration process, through a strategy of promoting and protecting their human rights, and particularly labour rights, by involving the indigenous peoples themselves, their employers, public officials and residents of transit and destination communities.
This comprehensive strategy will be carried out through three components:
1. Awareness raising for employers and government officials from the communities of origin, transit and destination about the human and labour rights of this population.
2. Training and empowerment, mainly on farms and meeting places of the target , peer methodology, in Ngöbere language, focused on rights, multiculturalism and gender.
3. Capacity building of the migration and registration authorities in the communities of origin, transit and destination for the target populations, both in Panama and Costa Rica.
