Description
The Bangladesh Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment (MEWOE) and Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) have set up a classification system within BMET for the regular grading of recruitment agents, as well as a Code of Conduct for recruitment agents to promote compliance with the laws and rules of the Government of Bangladesh for the protection of migrant workers. The classification system and Code were developed in cooperation with the Bangladesh Association of International Recruiting Agencies (BAIRA) and with the technical assistance of the ILO's SDC-funded project on 'Promoting Decent Work through Improved Migration Policy and its Application in Bangladesh'. A training was held in November 2014 to train government officials on the implementation of the tools.
