Joint Labour Migration Program Phase II Joint Labour Migration Program PHASE II The Joint Labour Migration Program was developed and launched in 2018 with the overall objective of improving the governance of labour migration to achieve safer, orderly and regular migration in Africa as committed in relevant frameworks of the African Union (AU) and Regional Economic Commissions (RECs), as well as international labour conventions and other cooperation processes. The second phase of Joint Labour Migration Program (JLMP II) relies on the significant work done in the first phase of the Program and on the political support that was adopted by the Africans Heads of State and the Governments during the 24th Ordinary Session of the African Union (AU) Assembly in January 2015.The Joint Labour Migration Program contributes to strengthening the African labour migration governance policy and institutional environment by strategically improving the capacities of the AUC and the RECs and their coordination with member states and like-minded stakeholders, and by supporting consultation and dialogue at the regional and national levels. Through the JLMP capacities and skills have been strengthened through consultations, awareness raising and capacity development events, notably the workshops of Employers’ and the Workers’ organizations and Statistical officers held in 2019. The establishing of the Labour Migration Advisory Committee (LMAC), the coordination with the Global Forum for Migration Development (GFMD) and with Abu Dhabi Dialogue, and the Ambassadors’ meetings are contributing to the emergence of a joint vision on how to assist migrant workers. 
The results that the Swedish support is expected to contribute to are:
Outcome 1: Strengthened effective, rights based, and gender responsive governance and regulation of labour migration and mobility for migrant workers of all gender identities in Africa.
Outcome 2: Migrant workers of all gender identities in both formal and informal sectors enjoy safe, humane, and secure working environments, access to and portability of social protection and social benefits, and mutual recognition of skills and qualifications.
Outcome 3: Improved availability and increased utilization of labour migration disaggregated data and statistics by MS and RECs for evidence-based decision-making, policy planning, formulation, and application.
Outcome 4: Strengthened governance and accountability of the JLMP.
The project duration is from April 2022 to March 2025 with a total budget of 79,000,000 SEK. Joint Labor Migration Programme utformades och lanserades 2018 med det övergripande målet att förbättra styrningen av arbetskraftsmigration för att uppnå en säker och ordnad migration i Afrika i enlighet med relevanta ramar för Afrikanska Unionen (AU) och regionala ekonomiska kommissioner (RECs), såväl som i enlighet med internationella överenskommelser. Den andra fasen av Joint Labour Migration Program (JLMP II), bygger på det betydande arbete som gjorts under den första fasen av programmet och på det politiska stöd som gavs programmet av afrikanerna statschefer och regeringar under AUs 24:e ordinarie sessionen i januari 2015. Joint Labour Migration Programme bidrar till att stärka den afrikanska policys kring arbetsmigration och den institutionella miljön genom att strategiskt förbättra kapaciteten hos Afrikanska Unionens Kommission (AUC) och RECs och deras samordning med medlemsstaterna och likasinnade intressenter, och genom att stödja samrådet på regional och nationell nivå. Genom JLMP-projektet har kapacitet och färdigheter stärkts genom dialog, medvetandegörande och kapacitetsutvecklingsinsatser, särskilt workshops för arbetsgivar- och arbetstagarorganisationer och statistikansvariga som hölls 2019. Inrättandet av den rådgivande arbetsmigrationskommittén (LMAC), samordningen med Global Forum for Migration Development (GFMD) och Abu Dhabi Dialogue, och ambassadörernas möten bidrar till framväxten av en gemensam vision om hur man kan bistå migrerande arbetare. 
Resultaten som det svenska stödet förväntas bidra till är:
Outcome 1: Stärkt, effektiv, rättighetsbaserad och genderkänslig styrning och reglering av arbetskraftsmigration för migrerande arbetstagare oavsett gender i Afrika.
Outcome 2: Migrerande arbetstagare oavsett gender i både formella och informella sektorer åtnjuter humana och säkra arbetsmiljöer, tillgång till och överföring av socialt skydd och sociala förmåner och ömsesidigt erkännande av färdigheter och kvalifikationer.
Outcome  3: Förbättrad tillgänglighet och ökat utnyttjande av disaggregerad data och statistik från arbetskraftsmigration av medlemsstater och RECs för evidensbaserat beslutsfattande, policyutformande och tillämpning.
Outcome 4: Stärkt styrning av JLMP.
Projektets aktivitetsperiod är från april 2022 till mars 2025 med en total budget på 79 000 000 SEK. The overall objective of the JLMP II Project is to contribute to the JLMP Strategic Framework (2020-2030) vision of strengthening the effective governance, and regulation of labour migration and mobility, under the rule of law, international migration law principles, and international labour standards, towards increased equitable, full-employment economic growth and sustainable development of the African Continent.

This project is deployed in close coordination with stakeholders across governments, legislatures, social partners, migrants, international organizations, the private sector, NGOs, diaspora and civil society organizations towards increased equitable economic growth and sustainable development of the African Continent.

The implementation of the project envisions four results:

Outcome 1: Strengthened effective, rights based, and gender responsive governance and regulation of labour migration and mobility for migrant workers of all gender identities in Africa.

Outcome 2: Migrant workers of all gender identities in both formal and informal sectors enjoy safe, humane, and secure working environments, access to and portability of social protection and social benefits, and mutual recognition of skills and qualifications.

Outcome 3: Improved availability and increased utilization of labour migration disaggregated data and statistics by MS and RECs for evidence-based decision-making, policy planning, formulation, and application.

Outcome 4: Strengthened governance and accountability of the JLMP.
