Migrant workers in South-East Asia’s fishing and seafood processing sectors are expected to benefit from a new program which will continue efforts to promote regular and safe labor migration throughout the industry. With this, a four-year program dubbed “Ship to Shore Rights South East Asia” (2020-2024) is being implemented by the International Labor Organization (ILO), in collaboration with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). The 10 million ($11.29 million) initiative is funded by the European Union (EU).
