New publication: Skills recognition and labour mobility in seven IGAD countries

JET research published by the International Labour Organization

The International Labour Organization (ILO), in an effort to improve opportunities for decent work within the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region through regulated labour mobility, initiated a project entitled “Free Movement of Persons and Transhumance in the IGAD Region: Improving Opportunities for Regular Labour Mobility”.

In 2018, JET Education Services was commissioned to undertake a scoping study on the potential role of skills development and skills recognition in this process in seven IGAD Member States: Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda. The resulting report, “The potential of skills development and recognition for regulated labour mobility in the IGAD Region” , produced by James Keevy, Andrew Paterson, Kedibone Boka and Hoosen Rasool, has just been published by the ILO, and we are pleased to share it with you.

We hope you find this contribution to the field of skills recognition and labour mobility interesting reading.
