Supporting Strategic Interventions Towards Effective and Sustainable Labour Migration Management and Information Sharing in Tanzania

The objective of this project is to increase the capacity of the Government of Tanzania (GoT) to formulate and implement strategic interventions towards effective and sustainable labour migration management and information sharing in Tanzania. In close collaboration with the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the IOM will work toward achieving the following outcomes:

i) GoT’s capacity to enhance policy and legal frameworks pertaining to labour migration agenda is strengthened;
ii) MoLE demonstrates the ability to generate strategic Labour Market Information System (LMIS) data, inclusive of labour migration indicators; and
iii) GoT demonstrates the ability to generate and use up-to-date labour migration data through the development and adoption of an electronic work permit system.

Through this project, the GoT will specifically benefit from increased capacity to manage and implement relevant regional frameworks on labour migration.

The project is also designed to complement the 2015 IOM Development Fund regional labour migration project Developing a Roadmap to Facilitate South-South Labour Mobility in Southern Africa that will bring together the selected SADC Member States in order to facilitate South-South labour mobility arrangements with a view toward ensuring the protection of the fundamental human, labour, and social rights of migrant workers, their families, and associated communities of origin and destination.
