Benefiting Member States
Lesotho
The overall objective of this project is to support the Ministry of Labour and Employment (MoLE) of Lesotho towards implementing labour migration programmes within the framework of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Labour Migration Action Plan (2016-2019), SADC Regional Labour Migration Policy Framework, and Article 19 of the SADC Employment and Labour Protocol stipulating provisions on the Protection of Migrant Workers.
IOM in partnership with the Ministry of Labour and Employment, will achieve this objective through the following three outcomes: i) The GoL demonstrates increased capacity on labour migration management; ii) GoL bilateral engagement on labour migration management with a country of destination is strengthened including labour exchange programme through the bilateral labour agreement; and iii) GoL has improved the implementation of the national labour migration policy through the implementation of the national labour migration policy action plan. This national labour migration project is designed to complement the IOM Development Fund regional project that aims to bring together the selected SADC Member States in order to facilitate South-South labour mobility arrangements. In this regard, the goal is to ensure the protection of the fundamental human, labour, health and social rights of migrant workers, their families, and associated communities of origin and destination.
