The Chief Expert of the Institute of Applied Research Kuralay Nurbek participated in the IOM 2nd Meeting of a Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) on behalf of the Academy.
The meeting is organized within the framework of the Regional project “Programme for Facilitating Managed Labour Migration in Central Asia” (Phase 1), funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and contributes to strengthen bilateral labour migration cooperation. The participating countries of the project are Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
The project, realized by the International Organisation for Migration, aims to support the efforts of governments and other stakeholders in target countries to identify problems and regularly adapt and improve policies.
A Country Level Project Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) is established as a platform for regular feedback between stakeholders to identify and respond to challenges and solve problems of labour migration taking into account the changing dynamics of the labour market and increasing the level of worker protection in recruitment and employment on a sustainable basis.
The IOM CCM meeting currently taking place in Oskemen (Zarechye) will examine ways to strengthen interaction and cooperation between countries participating in bilateral labour agreements with a focus on protecting the rights and well-being of migrant workers while ensuring mutual benefits for both countries: senders and recipients.
