Training Employment Services Providers on How to Facilitate the Recognition of Skills of Migrant Workers: Facilitator’s Notes

This edition is issued within the framework of the Support to Free Movement of Persons and Migration in West Africa project (FMM), funded by the EU and ECOWAS, and takes on board the efforts made in the ECOWAS subregion to improve labour migration governance and skills portability, in particular skills acquired through non-formal and informal learning, and non-recognized formal qualifications.

The notes are a capacity-building tool and can be used for training of trainers, as well as for targeted stakeholders, including government officials and the social partners. The notes are of particular relevance to the ECOWAS Member States in contributing to the effective implementation of the ECOWAS Protocol on the Free Movement of People and Goods. They are also part of the overall ILO assistance and collaboration in promoting skills and employability, and protection of migrant workers in Africa.
