Program Summary
IOM Kenya in partnership with the Ministry of Labour and other key stakeholders such as National Coordination Mechanism on Migration (NCM) in Kenya is implementing capacity building support for the government of Kenya to develop a Labour Migration Policy (LMP) and Labour Migration Management Bill (LMMB) to enhance protection of Kenyans working abroad. The project is funded by IOM Development Fund (IDF) and based on a request from the Government of Kenya (GoK), through the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, to provide technical and financial support to develop a national Labour Migration Policy. A draft National Labour Migration Policy was developed in 2010 but it was not adopted. Therefore, the project is to build upon this policy, contextualizing and updating its components to reflect current labour migration trends and stakeholders’ needs.
Through consultations with the National Employment Authority (NEA) and technical working group meetings, IOM will work closely with relevant stakeholders to develop the LMP and LMMB in such a way that ensures streamlining of government approach to labour migration. The policy and bill will align with international instruments including the 1990 UN International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families; the ILO Multilateral Framework on Labour Migration (ILO, 2006); the ILO Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), ILO Convention 97 on Migration for Employment, ILO Convention 143 on Migrant Workers, etc.
To align with gender mainstreaming policies, the LMP and bill will incorporate gender considerations, taking into account gender components and addressing them to respond to the needs of both men and women migrant workers. Key partners in the development of the policy and the bill will include Ministries of Labour and Social Protection, Immigration, NCM, Foreign Affairs, the National Employment Authority, the National Industrial Institute of Training Authority (NITA), the Federation of Kenya Employers, Workers Unions, the Association of Skilled Migrants Agencies of Kenya (ASMAK), Kenya Association of Private Employment Agencies (KAPEA) and civil society organizations to be engaged in developing the policy and the bill.
