2.4 APPROACHES TO ENHANCE LIVELIHOODS, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

Recommendation: 4) Engage in advocacy to mobilise key stakeholders prior to engaging them to work on high-level labour migration goals. Such goals may include the signing of bilateral agreements, the development of labour migration policies, the legal framework reform or ILO Conventions ratification.

In migration policies, support the development of a migratory corridor focus, working both in the origin and destination countries where relevant.

Evidence sample: the high-level goals in labour migration, such as the signing of bilateral agreements, the development of labour migration policies, the legal framework reform or the ILO Conventions ratification, are very difficult to address for a technical cooperation project if the context conditions are not highly favourable and without a previous tripartite mobilisation of the constituents.
