During the project\u2019s first phase, between April 2015 and May 2017, MMN conducted a comparative study into the labour migration mechanisms of several Southeast Asian countries of origin. The study highlighted the need for: 1) more effective pre-departure training and information dissemination; 2) clear mandates and coordination among responsible government agencies; 3) effective regulation of recruitment agencies; 4) comprehensive overseas assistance to migrants from embassies and consulates; 5) less reliance on migration as a long-term poverty reduction strategy; and 6) greater domestic livelihood opportunities so that migration is one option among many, rather than a survival necessity. The findings from the study were published in a report entitled<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mekongmigration.org\/?page_id=12737#research\">Safe from the Start: Roles of Countries of Origin in

countries of origin in 2015. For the purpose of this study, MMN collectively designed the research with migrant advocates and local civil society organisations (CSOs) in Cambodia and Myanmar during two consultation meetings (July 2015 and July 2016). Based on the agreed design, project partners organised four consultations with migrants currently working in Thailand, one consultation with migrant returnees in Myanmar, and one consultation with migrant returnees in Cambodia. Overall, a total of 162 migrants and returnees participated in the consultation exercise. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with various key informants in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Myanmar, and a desk research was conducted to examine international laws and standards, as well as migration governance in targeted countries of origin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>The resulting report,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mekongmigration.org\/?p=11047\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Safe from the Start: The Roles of Countries of Origin in Protecting Migrants<\/a>, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">focuses on the role that countries of origin should play in protecting their nationals migrating abroad, from pre-departure, through overseas assistance, to return and reintegration. Through a case study of the measures taken by the governments of the Philippines and Indonesia to protect their nationals migrating to Hong Kong, the report takes stock of the lessons to be learned from the experiences of the two longstanding countries of origin. Through the lens of this case study, the report examines the shortcomings and gaps that exist in the current policy and practice of Myanmar and Cambodia, the two main labour surplus countries in the Greater Mekong Subregion. The report was officially published in 2017.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-5432\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-5432\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Policy Dialogue on Roles of Countries of Origin<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5432\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5432\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In July 2017, MMN organised a policy dialogue in Yangon, Myanmar where representatives of the Cambodian and Myanmar governments, private recruitment agencies, the Embassy of the Philippines in Yangon, International Labour Organization (ILO), International Organization for Migration, and CSOs from Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, and the Philippines gathered to discuss the findings and recommendations from MMN\u2019s study, and more generally the roles that countries of origin should play in protecting their nationals who migrate abroad.
