The potential of skills development and recognition for regulated labour mobility in the IGAD Region

Report 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 is available from the ILO:
