• A manual for labour inspectors to better protect migrant rights, including: the monitoring of working conditions and access to services of foreign migrants, as well as the prevention of forced labour and trafficking.
• The manual will also provide guidelines on how to promote dialogue and cooperation with the business community.
• Strengthening of the capacity of MOLSW officials through an assessment of the bilateral agreements and other documents on labour migration concluded by the Ministry of Social Welfare and Labour (MOLSW) as compared to other countries/ agencies and present the findings during a seminar.
• A training workshop for border and immigration officials on how to identify victims of trafficking and other vulnerable migrants, including developing handbooks and training materials, and convening inter-agency working groups with the aim to strengthen multi-agency capacity to identify victims of trafficking.
