Benefiting Member States
Dominica
Dominica’s Ministry of National Security and Home Affairs Labour Division is responsible for the issuance of visas, work permits, and residency permits, however it presently lacks a system to process and analyse relevant data. The lack of reliable data for the government to make informed decisions has therefore not allowed a quota system to be put in place to regulate the recruitment of migrant labour, issuance of work permits and specific provisions or mechanisms to facilitate widespread integration of migrants into the labour market. In light of the above challenges, the aim of the project is to strengthen the capacity of the Government of Dominica to improve migrant integration. To achieve this objective, three outputs will be delivered: 1) An assessment of the impact of migrants on the local labour market and the driving factors of labour migration to Dominica, to be shared with key stakeholders within the Ministry of National Security and Home Affairs;2) Gender-sensitive and inclusive labour migration training sessions targeted at key government officials on data collection and analysis on labour migration;3) A gender-sensitive awareness communication campaign on migrants’ rights and their social and economic development contribution which also aims to increase the knowledge of key stakeholders as far as the important contribution made by migrants.
