Detailed description of project Back
The Support the Reintegration of Returnees and to the Management of labour migration in Ethiopia (SRRMLME) project, which has a total duration of 48 months, has two components:
- The first component, managed by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and aims at providing reintegration assistance to Ethiopian migrants through a holistic and coherent economic and social empowerment approach, with a particular focus on vulnerable groups;
- The second component, which has two specific objectives, is implemented by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MoLSA). The objectives of the second component of the project are to improve access to legal migration through enhanced capacity of relevant government authorities and to sensitize communities with historically large numbers of migrants, enabling them to take informed decisions about migration, including awareness and prevention of irregular migration and human trafficking.
The main aim of the mid-term evaluation is to provide lessons and operational recommendations, and identify areas for improvement, to enable the SRRMLME team – MoLSA, ILO, NAO and EU Delegation- to make corrective measures aimed at a better achievement of the project’s objectives and priorities, and ultimately at improving labour migration management in Ethiopia.
The specific objectives of this mid-term evaluation are:
- Evaluate how the SMLME is currently managed, implemented and monitored, and how it could be improved, including its coordination/complementarity with the ILO component;
- Assess the performance of the SMLME project, paying particular attention to the results and outcomes of project actions against expected objectives and results; and,
- Evaluate the relevance of SRRMLME (both ILO and MOLSA components) in the national development/ migration assistance context (complementarity; initiating dialogue; etc.).
