The International Labour Organization (ILO), in an effort to improve opportunities for decent work within the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region through regulated labour mobility, initiated a project entitled “Free Movement of Persons and Transhumance in the IGAD Region: Improving Opportunities for Regular Labour Mobility”.
In 2018, JET Education Services was commissioned to undertake a scoping study on the potential role of skills development and skills recognition in this process in seven IGAD Member States: Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda. The resulting report is available from the ILO:
