Summary: 

The FAIRWAY programme addresses underlying causes of decent work deficits at their source through national-level interventions in selected countries of origin in East, West and North Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, and Morocco). In the Arab States, the programme provides continuity to interventions in countries of destination across the region by building on the work of the Fairway Middle East project (2016-2019), which target low-skilled migrant workers from all regions. With a focus on key sectors where vulnerable migrant workers are engagedóincluding domestic work and the construction sectoróFAIRWAY seeks to address the interlinked structural, behavioural, and practical barriers to improved labour migration
