IV. Current Implementation Status

Overview

Following a request from the implementing agency to extend the closing date and revise the project development objective, the project restructuring was successfully completed in February 2016. The project is now in its fourth year of implementation and BRAC has revised its work plan to ensure adequate funds are available to cover the necessary expenditure over the additional year. All agreed activities are now operational in the field and implementation progress has been upgraded to satisfactory. With nine months until project closing, the focus is on ensuring CBO sustainability and documenting experience and lessons from the field.

Component-wise progress is highlighted below.

Disbursement

The cumulative disbursement under the project is now 75% and all funds are expected to be disbursed by project closing in June 2017.

Component 1: Identification/establishment of community-based organizations (CBOs) to protect migrants’ rights and promote safe migration services

CBOs across 80 Upazilas were identified on a competitive basis to work with the community to promote safe migration practices. Following renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between BRAC and the CBOs after one year of implementation, three CBOs withdrew from the program, although coverage of all 80 Upazilas remained on track, with two CBOs covering two Upazilas each and BRAC providing services directly through its Safe Migration Facilitation Centre (SMFC) in the third . During March- April 2016, BRAC conducted a review of the 77 working CBOs to assess their performance and select those organizations that would continue to be part of the program through the extended implementation period. Following the review, an extension plan was agreed upon with 65 CBOs covering 66 Upazilas. The remaining 14 Upazilas will continue to receive services from BRAC’s Safe Migration Facilitation Centres (the full list of locations is provided in Annex 3).

In order to accommodate budget limitations over the final year of implementation, the number of volunteers has been reduced to the original 480 and refresher training has been provided to help them better understand the migration and remittance management issues and their roles and responsibilities to protect migrant workers. While courtyard sessions with potential migrants and family members will be completed within October 2016, other field-level awareness activities with those who have decided to migrate will be continued through March 2017.

The CBOs have helped in bringing significant awareness of middlemen fraudulence and promotion of safe migration through grassroots interventions. Through engagement with local elites, migrants, their families and different stakeholders, a number of migration forums have been formed; some of these forum members play a significant role in providing direct services, particularly in arranging local arbitration and helping vulnerable migrants to get their money back from fraudulent middlemen. The project team have also organized roundtable discussions on preventing irregular and illegal migration.

As part of support to CBO sustainability and the investments that the project has already made, the implementing agency has developed a revised work plan for the partnership with CBOs, which includes connecting CBOs to national networks on migration, including the National Alliance for Migrants’ Rights, Bangladesh (NAMR’B), and organizing Division-level dialogues to encourage and engage CBOs in

2 advocacy and higher-level sensitization of field realities. Project staff will also work with CBOs to build their capacity in preparing proposals and fund raising initiatives so that they would be capable of taking advantage of future opportunities for participating in similar projects.

Following the recent opening of migration corridors to Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, which had been temporarily closed, the project is organizing a consultation workshop with key stakeholders, including Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET), Bangladesh Association of International Recruiting Agencies (BAIRA) and middlemen involved at various stages of the migration process, to review the recruitment system for these two high-migration corridors and ascertain how the project and its CBO network can support a clean, safe and transparent system for migrants.

Component 2: Pre-departure preparation to promote safe migration

Under this component, as of June 2016, CBOs have arranged various information dissemination and awareness raising events, including 12,784 courtyard meetings; 1,200 video shows and 879 interactive popular theatre shows. In addition, migration forums at the community level, which comprise local elite, returnee migrants, migrants’ families and potential migrants, have organized over 3,000 meetings to discuss the various issues faced by aspiring and current migrants.

While initially slow to take off, there has been good progress with providing pre-departure preparation training, with 115 sessions held between January-June 2016 with almost 2,000 participants. Areas of training include airport procedures and formalities; legal and cultural orientation in destination countries and remittance-sending processes. While the Government also conducts these training sessions, they are usually held centrally a few days before departure; by holding sessions at the local level, departing migrants have time to absorb the knowledge and gain greater confidence. This has also been recognized by the Government, whereby District Employment and Manpower Offices (DEMO) and Technical Training Centres (TTCs) are creating space to work jointly by providing training venues. Specific health and life skills training sessions have also been held for female migrants to educate and coach women on their rights; potential hazards and recourse measures, including returning to Bangladesh. Between April-June 2016, 100 women have received the training, of which almost 50 percent have migrated. There are also cases of women who, following participation at the health and life skills course, have decided not to pursue migration, in spite of having invested initial funds in securing a passport, completing medical checkups and other necessary procedures. This points to the importance of providing continuous counseling and support to potential migrants so as to reduce, as far as possible, the numbers of migration failures.

BRAC is in the process of signing Memoranda of Understanding with two private technical training institutions2 to provide skills training to potential migrants – this will cover courses including electrical works; driving; plumbing and welding. The training institutions are linked to recruitment agencies and course graduates will then be linked to potential job opportunities. The project has identified interested potential migrants who will be provided part scholarships and/or subsidized training fees. While the initial target was to cover 250 trainees, rising cost estimates suggest that possibly only up to 200 trainees may be covered through scholarships. Through their CBO network, BRAC will offer linkages to these training courses to other potential migrants interested in acquiring or developing their skills. As the institutions are also part of the Government’s Skills and Training Enhancement Project (STEP), there may be opportunities to take advantage of subsidized training or incentives for registered trainees.

Almost 700 Information Boards have been installed at the Union, Upazila and District level of project areas to provide information on safe migration (list of locations is provided in Annex 4). Up to 550 Boards have been installed highlighting basic migration processes, including using Government-approved recruiting

2 Montage Training & Certification Bangladesh in Gazipur and Greenland Training Center Ltd in Demra.

3 agencies; opening two bank accounts prior to departure, and contact information for abused or harassed migrants. Another set of Boards have been installed in project areas prone to high illegal migration, including Chittagong, Cox’s Bazaar, Sirajganj and Narsingdi. The messages on this Board include avoiding migration through illegal maritime routes and encouraging legal and safe migration processes. Installation of these Boards has generated additional interest from the community – the number of people seeking more information from Migration Associates has increased and SMFCs report receiving phone calls from migrants in the host country facing abuse, whose family members have passed on contact details for help and support.

Innovation Fund: Eight partner NGOs3 were selected to receive between $19,000 to $30,000 to pilot additional services and support for migrants, including skills development, family welfare and support to deceived or exploited migrants. The Fund enables other small organizations operating in the migration sector to test innovative products and ideas to benefit potential migrants and their families, while building capacity of stakeholders in this sector. Over 100,000 participants have benefitted from various activities including skills training (sewing, electrical works, plumbing); health and life skills awareness training and connecting families to migrants through technology (Skype, imo, etc.). The list of NGOs, interventions and number of participants is listed in Annex 5. Partner NGOs have also been active in facilitating recovery of potential migrants’ money from fraudulent middlemen. As of June 2016, 90 percent of allocated funds have been spent and the partnerships are expected to close by December 2016.

Component 3: Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Knowledge Dissemination

Project Management: In the final year of implementation, the central management team is strengthening its focus on CBO sustainability measures and monitoring and evaluation with the creation of two new positions: (i) Manager (Advocacy, Networking and Program Development) and (ii) Manager (Program Development and Knowledge Management). These officers will be responsible for (i) developing a training module and working with CBOs to enhance their fund-raising, proposal development and networking skills and (ii) documenting experience from the field to understand the strengths and challenges of implementation and taking forward lessons learned for future investments.

3 Nine partner NGOs had initially been selected to receive Innovation Fund grants: one award was not granted due to audit issues with the selected NGO, with only eight partner NGOs receiving the grant. Following a performance review of innovation activities, additional grant funds have been allocated to seven out of the eight partners.

Monitoring and Evaluation: An impact evaluation of the project is being carried out in partnership with the University of California, Berkeley, and BRAC’s Research and Evaluation Division. Additional Bank resources of $100,000 have also been secured through the DEC-Research Support Board. The baseline survey covering 3,000 households was completed in December 2014, with follow-up phone surveys conducted with 2,000 potential migrants in February 2015 and September 2016. Interim analysis of the follow up phone call survey findings suggests that migration success, including the salary migrants receive once in the host country, is higher in project intervention areas, compared to control areas where is no intervention. However, the difference is not statistically significant. The endline survey is scheduled to be completed by May 2017, which will provide data for reporting on PDO level indicators.

Qualitative assessments are also being conducted through key informant interviews, with stakeholders including government, CBOs, and beneficiaries, and case studies.

Knowledge Dissemination: With the upcoming Global Forum on Migration and Development (GMFD) 2016 to be hosted in Bangladesh, the project is linking selected CBOs to the Civil Society Coordination Committee on GFMD 2016 and the People’s Global Alliance to ensure that voices from the grassroots level are brought to the forefront at the Forum.

A compilation of case studies – documenting stories of beneficiaries that have received various forms of support under the project, including safe migration knowledge, training, and family support – will be produced as a publication and will be launched at the International Migrants’ Day to be held in December 2016. A video documentary intended to be shared with policymakers and key stakeholders is also under production and will capture project activities and its impact on beneficiaries.

V. Fiduciary and Safeguards Status

Fiduciary: Fiduciary issues are satisfactory with timely submissions of Financial Reports. The Bank also notes the clean audit report of the entity for the period from June 2014 to December 2015 and there are no pending audit reports as of now. Procurement activities – primarily consisting of consulting services and printing of material - have mostly been completed. There has been no prior review contracts.

Safeguards: The project is Category C and there are no safeguard issues.

VI. Next Steps

A closing mission will be conducted in May 2017 to review overall progress following completion of project activities and ensure all closing formalities are processed. The mission will also introduce the Implementation Completion and Results Report process.
