This project is funded under the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Stability addressing the root causes of irregular migration and displaced persons in Africa.
The overall objective of the project is to improve opportunities for regulated labour mobility and decent work within the IGAD countries through the development of models of intervention, in the broader context of the regional integration. In the long-term, it is expected to extend decent work opportunities to current and potential migrants within the region, as well as contribute to regional integration, strengthen the link between economic growth and job growth, and enhance the social and economic integration of migrants. 

The specific objectives of the project are to:

• Support the process of adoption of the IGAD Protocols on Free Movement of Persons and on Transhumance, along with complementary measures to implement them; and
• Improve opportunities for regulated labour mobility.

These activities will in turn improve regional integration and strengthen governance and the protection of migrant workers.
