Introduction

This position is located in Nairobi, Kenya, under the overall responsibility of the Director, Country Office Dar es Salaam and under the direct supervision of the Programme Manager of the FAIRWAY project in Africa.

 

The FAIRWAY Program, funded by the Swiss Development Cooperation, is a four-year inter-regional development cooperation initiative that aims to improve conditions of labour migration across migration pathways from Africa to Arab States and better protect all migrant workers in vulnerable situations within the Arab states region, thereby enabling migrant workers to contribute more fully to sustainable development in both countries of origin and destination.

 

Focusing primarily on key sectors in which migrant workers in vulnerable situations are engaged (including the domestic work and construction sectors) the project seeks to address the interlinked structural, behavioural and practical barriers to improved labour migration outcomes through four objectives:

  1. Private sector, employers’ and workers’ organizations engaged for decent work for migrant workers;
  2. Gender-responsive policy frameworks are developed or strengthened for fair recruitment and decent work and regulatory compliance;
  3. Discriminatory attitudes towards women and men migrant workers are diminished; and
  4. Migrant workers have improved access to information and support services throughout the migration cycle.

The FAIRWAY project will be implemented in Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Morocco and will carry-out national, regional and inter-regional activities, including in cooperation with the Regional Office for Africa and the Regional Office for the Arab States.
