​​​Labour mobility continues to be at the heart of Tonga's economic development. Although the economic benefits of labour mobility schemes are self-evident and will continue to be a feature of the Tongan migration landscape, the challenge for policymakers will be to manage the future evolution of these schemes in a way that identifies and minimises its negative impacts and maximises its sustainable development benefits. ​In light of the above, the objective of the project is to contribute to strengthened regular pathways, particularly for labour mobility, by the Government of Tonga. ​The project will seek to do so by supporting the Government of Tonga to address gaps in the governance of labour mobility in an evidence-based manner (Outcome 1) by developing a protection-centred and gender-sensitive Migration Profile for Tonga, with particular emphasis on labour mobility to support the Migration and Sustainable Development Policy Unit with future evidence-based programming (Output 1.1) and setting up a Migrant Resource Centre to assist migrants with information and services for informed decision-making (Output 1.2).
