Description succincte (Anglais)

The project was funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and was implemented between January 2021 and April 2024 with a budget of USD 1,023,224, plus a contribution from ILO of USD 274,605. Comprised of three inter-related outcomes, the overall objective of the project was to increase access of migrant workers in selected GCC countries to social protection through enhanced awareness, improved design, and implementation of social protection measures in alignment with international standards. Project Outcomes: 1. A comprehensive regional mapping of existing social protection mechanisms in GCC countries provides insights on levels of accessibility and coverage, and a country in-depth analysis of social protection needs and gaps for migrant workers is available in selected GCC countries. 2. Policy dialogue is initiated to identify social protection gaps, recommendations, opportunities for reform and potential entry points to expand coverage to migrant workers. 3. Specific reform entry points for enhancement of social protection for migrant workers are identified in selected GCC countries and progressive improvement of the policy environment, scheme design or administration is achieved to the benefit of migrant workers in selected areas.
