Short description (English)

Reintegration support for the returnee migrants of Bangladesh is relatively a new intervention in the country. About four to five years ago, social and economic support was provided neither by the NGOs, nor by the Government of Bangladesh. Nowadays, both GoB and NGOs are in the process of exploring reintegration support system for the returnee migrants, and NGOs are one-step ahead in this relation. One such project as a part of reintegration efforts titled ‘Socio-Economic Reintegration of Migrant Workers in Bangladesh’ has been executed by BRAC, in partnership with the Embassy of Switzerland in Bangladesh, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and Royal Danish Embassy. Started in 2018, this project, concluded its first phase in December 2020. The project is significant for having alignment with national and international priorities for the returnee migrants and member of migrants’ family. The evaluation of this project took place in March-April 2021 after SDC commissioned out DEVCOM to conduct it. The evaluation methodology includes document-reviews, consultation through FGDs, KIIs, IDIs, Case Study documentation, meetings and project site visits with the project staff, key stakeholders at National, District, as well as with project’s direct and indirect beneficiaries.
