Improved governance of labour migration and mobility in line with ILS

Description

The ILO is engaging with tripartite constituents in Jordan to enhance labour migration governance and improve the protection of migrant workers, ensuring decent work and fair prosperity sharing. This aligns with the ROAS Strategy on Labour Migration 2024-2027 and is informed by various ILO declarations and statements. To achieve these goals, the ILO will focus on establishing and strengthening institutional mechanisms for implementing and monitoring labour migration governance frameworks. Efforts will also advance policy and legislation for better protection of migrant workers and refugees, adhering to relevant International Labour Standards (ILS), including Conventions Nos. 97, 143, 181, 189, 190, and their related Recommendations. The ILO will promote due diligence for fair treatment of migrant workers among employers. The ILO will provide evidence-based policy advice, research, capacity building, training, stakeholder engagement, impact monitoring, and the promotion of good practices. Special attention will be given to migrant workers, including Syrians, in the domestic work, construction, agriculture, and garment sectors, particularly in Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZs). Additionally, the ILO will leverage its participation in the UN Network on Migration in Jordan, which it co-convenes with IOM, to discuss the situation of migrant workers and other migration issues.
