"Labour migration from Colombo Process Countries: good practices, challenges and way forward"

Labour Migration from Colombo Process Countries: Good Practices, Challenges and Ways Forward highlights a number of good practices in labour migration management that can be studied, adopted and replicated within national contexts. The study underlines that, despite successes, several challenges remain in enhancing the protection of migrant workers, including reducing their vulnerability to irregular migration, safeguarding against illicit recruitment practices, providing welfare support to migrant families and offering reintegration support upon return. Successfully addressing these challenges requires investment in capacity-building to better implement and evaluate policies and programmes, as well as strengthening dialogue and partnerships among all
actors - Colombo Process countries themselves at various levels of government, destination countries, civil society and the private sector. The Colombo Process provides a unique opportunity for Member Countries and Observers to do just that. Engaging in constructive dialogue to pursue areas of mutual interest greatly enhances the chances of Member Countries undertaking concrete
actions.
