3. Innovation Projet on Safe !igration

3.1. Intro"#tion

Toda', an estimated 1" million people globall' are 8or-ing in a countr' other than that of their birth0From Bangladesh alone around 10& million migrants are estimated to be 8or-ing in over %&$different countries based on !$%4 government figures0 In !$%2, 1/&,$&& migrant 8or-ers )3&0&percent men* found emplo'ment abroad0 A cumulative (S %4$0$4 billion has been sent to the

countr' b' migrant Bangladeshis as remittances since %3/"0 espite the efforts made to ensurethe protection of migrant 8or-ers, man' migrants continue to eDperience numerous problemsparticularl' more vulnerable groups, such as female domestic 8or-ers, entertainers and lo8er s-illed 8or-ers0 Currentl' our organi.ation is activel' 8or-ing in various parts of Bangladesh toresolve the challenges faced b' migrant 8or-ers and promote safe migration0

9rgani.ed and 8ell managed labour migration has enormous potential for >overnments,communities, migrants, emplo'ers and other sta-eholders in countries of origin and destination0hile ?ob creation at home is the first best option, an increasing number of countries seeinternational labour migration as an integral part of national development and emplo'mentstrategies b' ta-ing advantage of global emplo'ment opportunities and bringing in foreign

eDchange0

3.2. Proble$ State$ent

Pre,migration stage:

• Absence of Safe migration information at migrants door step

• a' dream trap vie8ed b' the migration middlemen in the communit'E

• ac- of Safe migration a8areness among the mass communit'E

• Insufficient professional and personal s-ill enhancement initiatives for the migrants in the

communit'E

• Inade7uate involvement of ocal government and ocal administration for the support

services of migrant 8or-ersE

• Centrali.ed recruitment servicesE

• Forger' of middlemen and the staffs involved 8ith recruitment processE

• Insufficient financial services for migrants at grass rootE

• ac- of pro+migrant legal and polic' supports in countr' of origin0

Post,migration Stage:

• All migrants become vulnerable due to less or no orientation regarding the destination

countr' culture and ?obs the' ought to do0 MaDimum potential migrants face fraudulence of bro-er+recruiting agent neDus and become bonded for the contract the' sign un-no8ingl' or sometimes forcibl' b' the bro-ers connected 8ith the emplo'ers in host countriesE

• lac- of Profit+loss calculation of the migration durationE

• Becoming irregular#illegal to meet the eDorbitant migration cost the' had to pa' for adoptingunplanned migrationE absence or lac- of Bangladesh mission services in the destinationcountriesE

• Insufficient rights based supports and services in the destination countriesE

• lac- of appropriate s-ill and capacit' for s-illed ?obsE

• 8omen migrants face more vulnerabilit' due to un-no8ingness of 8or-ing language,

personal and life s-ill to attend emplo'ers as domestic 8or-erE

Page | %



-eturn,stage:

• Migrants 8ho have eDperienced return 8ith failure face social, economic and ps'chological

constraints in the countr' of origin0

• oss of d8elling place due to nonmonetar' return from migration 8hat 8as adopted selling

d8elling land0

• 5speciall' 8omen migrants face double trouble0 9ne: If the' fail to bring better monetar'

return, the' are to face humiliation from famil' members, communit' and societ'E on theother hand, if the' earn more in short duration, societ' stares at her 8ith suspicion and treatthem as bad 8omen earn b' evil 8a's0 There is no effective mechanism in the countr' for the returnee migrants@ reintegration and rehabilitation0

• ac- of sufficient s-ills for productive use of remittances0

3.3. %eogra&hial Coverage ' (e$ogra&his

To resolve the aforementioned problems, 8e 8ould li-e to 8or- in a-shin-ahan 8hich is locatednear a.rat Shah?alal International Airport in ha-a0 As of no8, 8e have been 8or-ing 8ith thepoor and disadvantaged people of the area, and 8ith BRAC@s assistance, 8ould no8 li-e toeDpand our activities and 8or- 8ith potential migrant 8or-ers0 This is because, in our 'ears of

operation, 8e have found it to be a high migrant prone area0

alf the population of the area is migrants from several different districts in the countr', 8ith thema?orit' from Tangail and M'mensingh0 9ver the 'ears, this population in particular has also

sho8n a high tendenc' to migrate abroad for emplo'ment0 9ther factors that pla' significant rolesin ma-ing this area high migrant prone include its close proDimit' to the airport and BM5T facilities,and the rapid gro8th of numerous private Technical ;ocational 5ducation and Training )T;5T*center and manpo8er agencies in the area0

3.. S#stainabilit+ Plan

As mentioned earlier in the proposal, C(P 8ill carr' out this pro?ect b' forming a MRC and 1CB9sE this 8ill therefore ma-e it easier for us to conduct the communit' and local+level activities,such as a8areness raising, social development, training, etc0 8hich are re7uired for the successfulimplementation of this pro?ect0 9ur model is eDtremel' simple, 'et efficient and can easil' be replicated in various parts of thecountr'0 To begin 8ith, the materials 8e 8ould be using, such as documentar' films and other printed information can be easil' replicated and used across the countr'0 e 8ill develop our CB9s on a self+sustaining basis as 8e have done in the past0 9ur eDperienceof evaluation of previous pro?ects is that CB9s are the basic building bloc-s of such pro?ectsEsustainabilit' rests on the foundation of solid groups0 Man' pro?ects have sho8n a continuingdependence on counselors#group organi.ers, 8ho are the motivators, mobili.ers and trainers of the groups0 This dependence has been found to continue for %+! 'ears after the pro?ect has

commencedE hence, sustainabilit' also relies on the counselors continuing to be available to theCB9sE fortunatel' 8e have a group of eDceptionall' committed individuals 8ho have been 8ith usfor 'ears0 e have also noticed that after a certain period of time, the CB9s become self+reliantonce strong relationships have been established0 Therefore, even after the pro?ect is completed, itsactivities continue, 8hich also promotes replicabilit'0 This mostl' happens because of the follo8ingt8o reasons %0 9ther non+government agencies )=>9s* ta-ing over the functions on a continuingbasisE !0 the functions being performed b' an alread' eDisting cadre of eDtension 8or-ers, 8ho 8illcontinue regardless of pro?ect closure0

In recent times, the government of Bangladesh has also been activel' 8or-ing to promote safemigration and are hence, eDtremel' supportive to8ards such pro?ects because it reali.es that there

is a surplus of manpo8er 8ith a combination of professional, s-illed, semi+s-illed and less+s-illedlabour force0 =ot onl' does it recogni.e the benefits of migration and remittance, such as reducedunemplo'ment and economic development of the countr', but it also recogni.es the ris-s involvedin the process of migration in a countr' li-e Bangladesh0 It is continuousl' devising effectivemechanisms to implement safe migration, one such eDample amongst man' is the digiti.ation of the migration s'stems 8hereb' a computer database has been developed to stop the fraudulentactivities in the process of migration0 Considering all these factors, it can be eDpected that thegovernment 8ill ac-no8ledge the potential of this pro?ect and 8or- in collaboration 8ith us tofurther improve it and thus promote its sustainabilit'0

In addition, International agencies li-e the (nited =ations )(=* and its related organi.ations along

8ith the orld Ban- have also been emphasi.ing the need to better the migration managements'stem to ma-e it safer and more reliable0 The' alread' have ongoing pro?ects on safe migrationon Bangladesh 8hich are rapidl' eDpanding, and the eDpansion is such that it is ver' li-el' somethe effective features of our pro?ect 8ill be incorporated into other safe migration programmesacross the countr'0
