Benefiting Member States
Uganda
This project aims to strengthen the capacity of the Government of Uganda (GoU) and other stakeholders engaged in labour migration management to systematically manage and regulate labour migration from Uganda to other countries in general and to the East African Community (EAC) Partner States in particular. This will be achieved through the conducting of a comprehensive assessment on labour migration policies, practices, structures and legislation, a skills audit in the oil and gas industry, and a research study on labour productivity, youth unemployment, and rural-urban labour migration dynamics and trends within Uganda. The assessment will contain information on how these policies, practices, structures and legislation affect both men and women in the labour market while the skills audit and research study will provide sex-disaggregated data. IOM Uganda will also conduct an institutional assessment of the External Employment Unit (EEU) of the Ministry of Gender Labour and Social Development (MGSLD).
Based on the findings and recommendations issuing from these assessments, two capacity-building trainings and a training of trainers’ workshop will be conducted for central and local government officials responsible for labour migration management as well as for employers’ associations, workers’ organisations, private recruitment agencies, civil society organisations, and other key stakeholders. The project will also support the MGLSD to create, maintain, and update a website as well as a labour migration and labour productivity database containing both national and international profiles of candidate migrant workers, which will be used for job-matching purposes. The components of the project will culminate in the development of a comprehensive labour migration roadmap for Uganda, which will be produced with a view toward providing a blueprint for the way forward.
