The consultation builds on the actions and recommendations from the first Reintegration Consultation (August 2020) organized by Safe and Fair, and the second Stakeholders Consultation on Reintegration (May 2021) co-organized by Safe and Fair, BRIDGE, and the National Reintegration Center for OFWs (OWWA-NRCO).

Tripartite constituents and stakeholders from the government, workers, employers’ organizations, local governments, recruiters, civil society organizations, academe, the private sector and OFW and family organizations participated in the consultation which is part of the events in celebration of the International Migrants Day and the Month of Overseas Filipinos. Results of the consultation will be used in the development of the operational aspects and digital design of the OFW Reintegration Advisor and Referral Pathways, and in enhancing the formulation of the Philippine Strategic and Policy Framework for a Sustainable and Gender-responsive Reintegration of OFWs.

Key features of the National Action Plan on Sustainable, Gender-responsive Return and Reintegration were also presented. The said action plan will be launched on 16 December, 2021 -- also through the collaboration of IOM-ILO-UN Women BRIDGE Programme and ILO-UN Women Safe and Fair Programme.
