JLMP Lead (Labour, Employment and Mobility actions of the AU-ILO-IOM Programme on Labour Migration Governance for development and integration in Africa)

The overall objective of the JLMP Lead Project is to contribute to the JLMP Strategic Framework (2020-2030) vision of strengthening the effective governance, and regulation of labour migration and mobility, under the rule of law, international migration law principles, and international labour standards, towards increased equitable, full-employment economic growth and sustainable development of the African Continent.

This project is deployed in close coordination with stakeholders across governments, legislatures, social partners, migrants, international organizations, the private sector, NGOs, diaspora and civil society organizations towards increased equitable economic growth and sustainable development of the African Continent.

The implementation of the project envisions four results:
  • Outcome 1: Strengthened effective, rights based, and gender responsive governance and regulation of labour migration and mobility for migrant workers of all gender identities in Africa.
  • Outcome 2: Migrant workers of all gender identities in both formal and informal sectors enjoy safe, humane, and secure working environments, access to and portability of social protection and social benefits, and mutual recognition of skills and qualifications.
  • Outcome 3: Improved availability and increased utilization of labour migration disaggregated data and statistics by MS and RECs for evidence-based decision-making, policy planning, formulation, and application.
  • Outcome 4: Strengthened governance and accountability of the JLMP.
