Summary, etc. note:
|
The "Sri Lanka National Policy and Action Plan on Migration for Employment 2023-2027" is a landmark official document outlining the government's comprehensive strategy for managing labour migration. Spanning from 2023 to 2027, this policy is crucial for Sri Lanka, given the significant role foreign employment plays in its economy through remittances.
It seeks to maximize the developmental benefits of migration while simultaneously minimizing associated risks and vulnerabilities faced by Sri Lankan migrant workers. The document provides a structured framework addressing all phases of the migration cycle: pre-departure, during employment abroad, and post-return. Key areas include enhancing migrant worker protection, ensuring ethical recruitment practices, promoting their welfare, improving their skills and competencies, strengthening governance mechanisms, and fostering effective reintegration strategies for returnees.
Developed through a multi-stakeholder approach, it emphasizes collaboration between government agencies, civil society, recruitment agencies, and international partners. Ultimately, the policy and its action plan aim to create a safe, orderly, and dignified environment for Sri Lankans seeking employment abroad, contributing to national development and upholding their rights. |
