Project Context and Scope:ย
Labour mobility has led to significant positive impacts for ni-Vanuatu households, with participants using their earnings to meet both family and community needs. There is a strong need, however, for labour migrants and their families to receive robust preparation for their experience overseas, support to maintain healthy relationships and practice sound financial management, and assistance reintegrating into their communities and achieving their financial goals upon their return.ย
IOM LMI programmes aim to enable labour migrants and their families to maximize the positive impacts of their participation in international labour mobility, maintaining good health, strong, violence-free relationships, and financial stability during all stages of labour migration.ย This will be achieved by providing labour migrants and their families with up-to-date information, referrals of services, evidence-based training, as well as targeted mentorship support.
To ensure a coordinated approach, IOM also seeks to better engage and create a collaborative network among community members/leaders and stakeholders involved in labour mobility. IOM programmes are underpinned by a strong emphasis on monitoring and evaluation so that labour migrants can benefit from continuous programme improvement.
