The proposed project will contribute to safeguarding the rights of migrant workers through promoting ethical recruitment practices in Bangladesh and Nepal and introducing tailor made capacity building interventions for voluntary licensed private recruitment agencies (PRAs) through the International Recruitment Integrity System (IRIS) initiative. This will be achieved through mentoring and coaching individual PRAs and assisting them to prepare for IRIS certification. The project will also expose authorities and PRAs of both countries to global best practices in promoting ethical recruitment while also providing a platform to share experiences of PRAs and migrant workers in both countries. This will help in enhancing their knowledge on ethical recruitment and how to apply it in the national contexts of Bangladesh and Nepal.
