  • SayPro State of Labour Migration and Mobility Governance in the IGAD Region: Fair Recrutement Practices in the IGAD Region

     Background The search for decent work and livelihood opportunities is a key driver of human mobility around the world. According to the latest ILO estimates[1], there are 169 million migrant workers, 62 per cent of international migrants, globally. Likewise, migrant workers constitute a significant share of the migrant population in the African Continent. According to the third Africa labour migration statistics report[2] there are about 14.5 million migrant workers, 72 percent of working-age migrants in the continent. Turning to the sub regions, East, South and West Africa hosted more than 80% of the migrant workers in Africa in 2019. IGAD hosts 3.4 million migrant workers, of which 46% are women. This represents close to 3% of the workforce. Growing numbers of migrant workers from East, North, and West Africa are also migrating to the Arab States to work in construction, manufacturing, agriculture, services and retail trade, and domestic and care work. According to UNDESA, the stock of migrants from African countries in the GCC in 2017 was estimated to be over 3.4 million. The most popular destination countries for migrants from African countries were the UAE, KSA and Qatar. While comprehensive data from IGAD Region is limited, evidence shows a considerable increase in flow of migrant workers from the IGAD region to the GCC and middle east countries. It is evident that labour migration brings benefits to countries of origin, countries of destination as well as migrant workers and their families. Migrant workers play a key role in fulfilling labour market demands in countries of destination, increasing labour productivity through diversifying skills sets, boost local consumption, pay taxes and make social contributions as well as innovation and creativity, thereby contributing to aggregate GDP growth of countries of destination. Migrant workers also contribute to the development of countries of origin through remittances while abroad and financial investments, as well as human and social capital acquired abroad including new skills, ideas and know-how up on their return. Despite the benefits of labour migration, migrant workers experience a range of challenges and decent work deficits. The challenge starts with the complex recruitment industry which involves a networks of recruitment agencies, travel agencies, brokers and informal intermediaries, as well as online recruitment services. Fraudulent recruitment practices, particularly payment of recruitment fees, is common challenge leading to debt bondage, modern day slavery and significant protection risks for migrant workers. In addition, unavailability of standardized written contract and even when they exist contract substitution up on their arrival in the country of destination is a major challenge that puts migrant workers vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Although IGAD Member States are increasingly aware of the challenges of Recruitment and placement of migrant workers and begun strengthening their national legislations and specify the process of Recruitment and placement of migrant workers in Bilateral Labour Agreements (BLAs), significant gaps persist. Improving legal frameworks and compliance mechanisms on licensing, monitoring and inspections of private employment agencies require considerable investment in understanding and analysing the industry, developing relevant policy instruments as well as capacity building and staffing of government departments, ensuring government agencies have appropriate enforcement mandates and sensitizing and incentivising private recruitment agencies and employers on fair recruitment practices and their benefits Cognizant of these and other challenges, Ministers of Labour and Employment of IGAD Member States signed the Djibouti Declaration on Labour, Employment and Labour Migration[3] on October 21, 2022, in Djibouti city, the Republic of Djibouti. The declaration, among other things calls up on member states to institute relevant supervisory mechanisms on the process of recruitment, placement, working conditions, return and integration of migrant workers. Furthermore, the IGAD Regional Guidelines on Rights Based Bilateral Labour Agreements, adopted by IGAD Ministers of Labour and Employment through the Djibouti Declaration, provides detailed recommendation on key Recruitment and placement related issues to be considered in drafting, negotiating and signing BLAs with countries of destination. At continental level, the ILO Regional Office for Africa in close collaboration with African Union Commission, International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and International Organization of Employers (IOE) also launched the continental fair recruitment initiative in Africa.
