In July 2007, the ASEAN Foreign Ministers established the ASEAN Committee to Implement the Declaration on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers. Part of the role of this committee has been to strengthen information services to educate migrant workers about their rights, access to services and immigration requirements. Leveraging on the policy repository in paragraph 4(a) of the ASEAN Declaration on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers, ASEAN strengthened information services for migrant workers by producing materials such as brochures, pamphlets, and posters, to reach out to migrant workers in both labour sending and receiving countries.

The information services offered cover areas such as

1. preemployment and pre-departure information on channels, procedures and requirements for documented migration and access to overseas labour markets for skilled and unskilled workers,
2. the hazards of undocumented migration and human trafficking, and
3. the avenues for further information and assistance.
