The ASEAN Forum on Migrant Labour is an open platform for the review, discussion and exchange of best practices and ideas between government, workers’ and employers’ organizations, and civil society stakeholders on key issues facing migrant workers in South-East Asia, and to develop recommendations to advance the implementation of the principles of the ASEAN Declaration on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers. This paper consolidates and summarizes the activities, experiences, good practices and challenges of key stakeholders in implementing the recommendations from the 3rd and 4th ASEAN Forum on Migrant Labour. The paper serves as a marker as to what has been done, and what still needs to be carried out. It is hoped that the experiences of the ASEAN Member States as continued in the report will mutually assist countries in responding to the recommendations and implementing the ASEAN Declaration.
