Countries of Origin seek ways to improve the welfare of their migrant workers

60 participants drawn from African Union Member States and Regional Economic Communities (RECs) gathered virtually to validate the Guidelines on Migrant Welfare Programme. The validation workshop was preceded by the presentation of the Report of the status of migrant welfare in selected countries of origin in the East African Community (EAC), Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Pilot countries include Ethiopia, Kenya, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Mauritius and South Africa. The Guidelines present options which can be considered by governments of countries of origin to ensure appropriate migrant welfare benefits to migrant workers, to ensure their protection in critical areas, including social protection.
