       Labour migration from Colombo Process countries Good practices, 
challenges and ways forward 
Labour Migration from Colombo Process Countries: Good Practices, Challenges and 
Way Forward is the official background paper prepared by the International 
Organization for Migration (IOM) to inform the Fourth Colombo Process 
Ministerial Meeting held in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2011. The report takes stock 
of current labour migration trends in the region, offers an analysis of good 
practices and identifies the challenges Colombo Process (CP) Member Countries 
face and their policy options in the immediate and long-term.

Since 2005, CP Member Countries have taken concrete, pro-active steps to manage 
labour migration through amending existing regulations or adopting new 
legislation, creating new government structures dedicated to managing labour 
outflow, and signing bilateral agreements (BAs) and memoranda of understanding 
(MOUs) with key destination countries. CP Member Countries have also launched 
innovative programmes and activities at different levels of government aimed at 
protecting labour migrants at home and abroad. 

Despite success in key areas, however, difficult challenges remain, especially 
in implementation. There is often a gap between the aims of programmes as laid 
out on paper and how they are ultimately applied on the ground particularly on 
four key areas: disseminating of information, managing of the recruitment 
process, providing welfare support to migrants at both ends of the migration 
cycle and maximizing the benefits of labour migration. Success in any of these 
four areas requires serious investments in capacity building centered on a 
three-pronged strategy aimed at generating critical information, knowledge and 
policy-relevant research, formalizing practical dialogues and forging 
meaningful partnerships.
