The Comprehensive Information and Orientation Programme (CIOP) implemented currently in the context of the Abu Dhabi Dialogue (ADD) helps operationalize a coordinated management system for the provision of tailored pre-employment, pre-departure and postarrival orientation (PEO, PDO and PAO) services for temporary contractual workers (TCWs) in the GCC states. With technical support from IOM, the governments work towards developing a CIOP regional guide and a corresponding management system, which will then be tailored to operations in the specific country contexts of ADD Member States. The CIOP will contribute to strengthening the integration and protection of TCWs in the national labour markets of ADD Member States through piloting the ADD vision of CIOP. This aims to enhance transparency of information, protect workers from risks of exploitation and abuse, support prospective workers’ informed decision-making, and reduce barriers at the work place while promoting social integration.
