Project to Strengthen the Ecuadorian Technical Selection Unit of Migratory Workers

The project is designed to strengthen the capacity of the Ecuadorian Government in managing migration to Spain and enhance the capacity of the Technical Selection Unit of Migratory Workers to prepare those workers selected for positions in Spain for their personal and professional lives there. The long-term sustainability of this unit will be assured through the signing of a cooperative agreement between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and IOM in which the former commits to finance and assign the necessary funds to guarantee the operation of the Unit in the future. The project will also seek to ensure the Unit’s sustainability by assisting in the design and implementation of a website. Efforts will also be made to optimize the use of the Unit’s database of information on migrants’ backgrounds in order to streamline migratory information available to the Government of Ecuador.
