The International Labour Organization (ILO), with funding support from the European Union (EU) is implementing a project titled Promoting Decent Work Across Borders: A Project for Migrant Health Professionals and Skilled Workers. The project seeks to better understand schemes related to circular migration of health professionals by engaging ILO constituents and other stakeholders in its implementation. The project has three main objectives, namely, to conduct policy researches and foster policy dialogues, to improve services for health professionals and skilled migrant workers and to enhance labour market information system
In this regard, the ILO Decent Work Across Borders project had a meeting from 28 October to 1 November 2013 and discussed the following:
1. Monitoring of the implementation of the WHO Global Code of Practice on International Recruitment of Health Personnel
2. Development of pre-departure information material for migrant health professionals.
ILO, Delhi also hired an EXCOL to study and submit the report. A meeting for validation of the report was held on 21 January 2014 in Magnolia Hall, India Habitat Centre.

Bilateral discussions and an understanding of legal and regulatory systems between sending and receiving countries can contribute to more streamlined and harmonized processes for labour migration, thus better enabling workers who want to move, to do so. This mutual understanding can also lead to better outcomes for migrants and their families through countries’ cooperation in enforcement of legal provisions protecting workers’ rights – whether in sending or receiving countries.
This Compendium of Legislation and Institutional Arrangements for Labour Migration in Pacific Island Countries (‘Compendium’) is intended to assist in building this understanding by providing a synthesis of information on key aspects of the legal and administrative frameworks and associated practices in eleven Pacific countries. Each profile is introduced by a summary of some key migration trends and characteristics and contains a review of relevant national legislation, regulations and, where possible, policy statements relating to labour migration to and from the country concerned, together with a summary of the relevant institutional arrangements and responsibilities.
It is anticipated that this Compendium will form a valuable resource for policymakers, administrative staff and academics both in the countries covered by this document, as well as countries which are connected to labour migration in the Pacific, including Australia, New Zealand and the US – which comprise the main receiving countries outside of the Pacific region.

Every month, nearly 16,000 Nepalis travel to the Gulf States for temporary work, and thousands more go to other countries in the Middle East. Much attention has been directed to the exploitation of low-wage migrant workers in the Middle East, where harms are commonplace and severe, and access to justice is limited. But the story of labor migration also begins and ends at home. Migrant workers commonly encounter a range of abuses during their recruitment in Nepal which makes them more vulnerable to exploitation abroad. Based on a two-year empirical study, this report provides the first comprehensive analysis of the Nepali mechanisms that regulate labor migration, and provide redress to migrant workers who experience harms during recruitment and throughout the migration process. The study finds that despite Nepal’s efforts to protect migrant workers, it is generally failing to hold private recruitment companies and agents accountable, and the vast majority of migrant workers are unable to access justice in Nepal or abroad. The report reveals that, with some notable exceptions, the law that governs recruitment and placement of Nepali migrant workers is relatively robust, but its implementation and enforcement are weak. The report examines in detail each of the mechanisms that Nepal has established to enable workers to access compensation and other forms of justice when their rights are violated, and makes findings on the governance, operation, and effectiveness of each mechanism. The report also provides detailed recommendations for improvement, many of which could be implemented in the short to medium term. This report is the second in the Open Society Foundations’ Migrant Workers’ Access to Justice Series. The first report, Migrant Workers’ Access to Justice at Home: Indonesia, was published in 2013.
