Ministry of Telecommunication, Foreign Employment and Sports Annual Performance Report - 2018
Message from the Hon Minister of Telecommunications, Foreign Employment and Sports ….. I have been fortunate to deliver this message as the Minister of Telecommunications, Foreign Employment and Sports, for the annual performance report corresponding to year 2018. This Ministry is responsible for the three main sectors in Sri Lanka. Accordingly,
Sports Sector When taking the sports sector into consideration, the first Olympic medal was won by Duncan White in year 1948, thereafter Susanthika Jayasinghe was able to win the Olympic silver medal in year 2000. However, the time duration that has been taken to win the Olympic medal again has been 52 years. Further it has been reported that even in year 2019, the required level in order to achieve an Olympic medal again has not been reached yet or athletes those who can reach that level have not emerged up to now. Although, we can be satisfied with respect to the successes that we have gone through in South Asian and Asian Games up to some extent, when considering the development of sports as a whole in an independent manner, the stability or the unstoppable progress in sports is not at all satisfactory. I have observed many unique reasons regarding this matter.
The Ministry of Sports and the Department of Sports do not have a comprehensive, integrated, active and practical system. The players do not get the opportunity to involve with their relevant sport on a regular basis, due to internal crisis and conflicts within the Sports Federations. Irregular distribution, weakness in handing and maintenance of the Infrastructure facilities associated with Sports which are provided on an Island wide basis. Weakness in the attitudes of the Athletes with respect to Sports associations.
Therefore a programme with a clear vision has to be developed in order to overcome these obstacles. Based on that a two day workshop was organized from 2019.02.25 to 26 with the participation of the representatives of 66 sports federations, members of the sports council, sports referees, sports instructors, technical experts and Sports men and women, based on this it has been planned to develop a consistent methodology corresponding to the next three years and also I have already laid the foundation which is required to monitor this on an annual basis. In addition to this, necessary action has been taken to do the required amendments to the Sports Law, in a positive manner and also to do the necessary updates in the Sports regulations, further it has been planned to establish a fully equipped sports complex with respect to each and every province and also to improve administration of the Sugathdasa National Sports Complex Authority in an efficient systematic manner and also to overcome the inefficiency with respect to many sports grounds, further it is expected to appoint an Ombudsman with respect to the sports sector , however each and every step will be taken with the guidance of the Sports Council.

Foreign Employment Sector It has been felt on a long term basis that a change is required in the tendency of sending the employees for foreign employment and the tendency of the labor supply system as far as the Sri Lankan foreign employment system is concerned. Accordingly close attention should be paid on fields such as nursing staff, hotel industry, industry with respect to masonry and carpentry, these actions should be followed with the preventive mechanism to avoid the shortage of employees in Sri Lanka with respect to the aforementioned fields. Accordingly, the requirement of working in association with the Ministry of Youth Affairs, National Youth Services Council and Vocational Training Authority has been very well recognized. The activities associated with the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment which is primarily responsible for this, should be developed along with the methodology corresponding to the technological aspect in order to ensure transparency, prior to sending an employee for foreign employment until he /she has been employed at the relevant place and also an easy methodology should be developed using Information Technology in order to enhance the facility to send the salary earned by them to Sri Lanka using the proper legal mechanism hence, we have focused on introducing such an Information Technology based method. The board approval has been sought with respect to this. When these foreign employees return back to Sri Lanka, it is essential to implement a direct plan in order to draw the attention of the government , through the development officers who are who are attached to the divisional secretariats to ensure their welfare and development. It is also a great achievement for this sector to minimize the number of Sri Lankans living in the camps which are associated with the foreign embassies, as well as the time duration that they have been accommodated in these camps. The Department of Immigration and Emigration have implemented their work for those who are overseas for employment in order to obtain their duly formatted Bio data through the respective embassies corresponding to the countries that they are employed in. A cabinet paper with respect to this is expected to be submitted within few days in order to seek the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers.
Telecommunication Sector In the telecommunication sector the primary responsibilities that have been assigned for me is regarding liquidation of the Department of Telecommunications and to expedite the pension payments corresponding to the remaining pensionable employees. In order to implement this, I have taken necessary steps to appoint a senior officer from the Sri Lanka Administrative Service on contract basis for the duration six months. As a whole when considering this sector as well as the Sports and Telecommunication Sector in order to carry out the future activities as well as maintaining the existing productive measures in the same manner, the requirement of a systematic programme as mentioned above is becoming more and more emphasized. In the march towards this long journey I expect the blessings of His Excellency the President, Hon .Prime Minister and all of you. I would like to pay my gratitude to Mr.Manusha Nanayakkara M.P, Secretary to Ministry Telecommunications, Foreign Employment and Sports, Director General Sports including respective Heads of Institutions and other staff members who have been always supportive to overcome these challenges

Message from the Secretary of Ministry of Telecommunication, Foreign Employment and Sports. As the Secretary of the Ministry of Telecommunication, Foreign Employment I am extremely happy have this opportunity to send a Message to the performance report. The foremost responsibility of the Telecom Division in the Ministry of the Telecommunication, Foreign Employment and Sports is to provide the service of transmitting message in the from of a telegramme through a telecommunication System in an effective and correct way between the sender and receiver, and the Foreign Employment Sector deals with bringing about a Sports Culture under the concept or “Sports for all” to inherit the land with healthy generation which will glorify Sri Lankan Symbol at International level. The economic impact from mobile broad- bands present in under - developed countries seem to be higher than that of the developed countries. So the purpose of the Telecommunication sector is to make a significant contribution to step up the Gross Domestic Product in Sri Lanka which is a developing country, by carrying out activities such as monitoring the performance of state - owned enterprises primarily engaged in providing Telecommunication services and coordination work thereof, promoting standards relevant to Telecommunication, activities pertaining to International cooperation, Research and development and promotion of private sector investment in telecommunication. The salient objective of the Foreign Employment Sector is to carry on the Regional Development Treaties while qualitatively maintaining the labour market at a high level by updating the MOUs, subject to periodical amendments. The Foreign Employment sector was characterized by its contribution to change the drain of labour from Middle-East countries to other East - Asian Countries and the Europe. As Sri Lankans our objective is to make our country, a leader in sports like other countries that lead in sports. To achieve that goal, this Ministry has commenced various sports projects by making use of technological know - how knowledge and experience of local and foreign sports specialists and apart from the other purposes of ours is to raise awareness among the Sri Lankans (who do not take interest in physical health) about the importance of engaging in physical activities. The endeavors of all sorts made by all the officers of the Ministry of telecommunication, Foreign Employment and Sports to provide an International-level service through the Telecommunication Sector by way of its administration, high standard communication to increase GDP of Sri Lanka to implement the policies and programmes on human rights of immigrants during the course of implementing all activities pertaining to foreign employment from grass-root level through Foreign Employment sector and sort out issues thereof and providing sports infrastructure facilities to athletes who excelled at International level as well as facilities for National and International achievements and thereby being a helping-hand to strengthen the social and economic level of the country paving way for people to enjoy a healthy life are hereby appreciated and I wish them strength and courage to be a helping hand towards the development path of Sri Lanka.

Ministry of Telecommunication, Foreign Employment and Sports Annual Performance Report - 2018
Historical Background to the Migration: Realizing the importance and extent of the migration phenomenon, which involves millions of people and affects a large number of states in the international community. Today government faces increasing migration management’s challenges as migratory behaviours become more and more prevalent and globalized. In 1965, there were some 75 million migrants worldwide. By 2002, that number had grown to 175 million. In 1965, only a small number of countries were identified as “Countries of Destinations”. Today almost every country is the recipient of some migration, and the traditional classification of countries affected by migration in to countries of origin, transit and destination is now largely meaningless since most countries now send migrants, receive migrants or have migrants pass through their point of entry.
Existing situation in Migration: Migration for employment is a complex and dynamic process affecting a wide range of actors. A “migration industry” developed to support aspect of the migration process to these countries including Promotion, Recruitment and Selection, Administration of heavily subsidized travel schemes and transport logistics. Large reception centres were built and training programs were established to facilitate initial settlement and adaptations to new life and work surroundings.
By the mid-1960s, the numbers of applicants for immigration began to fall, and selection criteria were gradually adjusted to allow applications to be received from non-European countries.
By the mid-1970s, the objectives of migration programme had been adjusted to focus less on the ethnic origin of the applicants and more on their qualifications, skills and work experiences.
Both the demographic makeup and the social composition of the receiving societies were substantially transformed. It is also certain that life styles and values underwent significant change. On the economic side, positions are more nuanced, but the weight of opinion inclines towards the views that countries of destinations benefitted from economic growth, and that countries of origin were helped as much by the migration surplus labor as by the remittances they sent back. There has been much subsequent debate about the net impact of these migratory flows on the economic and social fabric of the countries concerned.

1.2 International Contribution to Formalizing the Labour Migration.
I. Regional Dialogues Colombo Process (CP)
According to the best estimates, over 2.5 million Asian workers leave their countries every year as contractual workers. A large proportion of workers from South and Southeast Asia head for the Gulf States to perform construction jobs, domestic work and other types of service, while others move to North America, Europe and Asian countries.
Many countries in the region are increasingly engaged in protecting their migrants from exploitative practices in recruitment and employment, as well as providing them with appropriate services in order to reduce their vulnerability before, during and after their overseas employment.
Against this backdrop and in response to calls from several Asian labour sending countries, the Ministerial Consultation for Asian Labour Sending Countries was held in 2003 in Colombo, Sri Lanka namely “ Colombo Process”
Since the start of its Chairmanship incumbency in October 2013, Sri Lanka has spearheaded a number of initiatives that have strengthened the Colombo Process in terms of its structure,
63
Ministry of Telecommunication, Foreign Employment and Sports Annual Performance Report - 2018 thematic foci as well as cooperation among the Member States and with countries of destination.
Sri Lanka proposed the Strategic Vision for the Colombo Process at the First Senior Officials’ Meeting (SOM) under its Chairmanship in May 2014, which was subsequently endorsed by the Member States at the Meeting.
The current membership of the Colombo Process consists of 12 Member States and 8 Observer Countries. Under the leadership of the Chairing country, Nepal the Member States regularly meet for Senior Officials Meetings and Ministerial Meetings to advance their commitments to the four principal objectives and thematic foci. The Member States also implement programmes and projects both at the national and regional levels in partnership with IOM, UN agencies, development partners and countries of destination in pursuit of the thematic priorities.
Abu Dhabi Dialogue (ADD)
The Abu Dhabi Dialogue initiated in 2008 to broaden the base for common understanding of issues and to influence practices and policies in the area of contractual labor for the region. It was launched a collaborative approach to address development in temporary labour mobility in Asia. The ADD consists of the twelve Member States of the Colombo Process (CP), namely Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam, and six Gulf countries of destination: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar,
64
Ministry of Telecommunication, Foreign Employment and Sports Annual Performance Report - 2018
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as Malaysia. Regular observers include the IOM, ILO, private sector and civil society representatives. The government of Sri Lanka took over the Chair of the Abu Dhabi Dialogue (ADD) in 2017 following Kuwait.
As a state-led Regional Consultative Process (RCP), the ADD aims to enable safe, orderly and regular labour migration in one of the world’s largest temporary labour migration corridors. Through multi-lateral dialogue and cooperation on the joint development of labour mobility- related programming, implementation, and reporting, the ADD helps to ensure that Member States develop partnerships for adopting best practices, and are in a position to learn from one another’s experience.
Based on the initiatives outlined in the present, ADD Members call to the attention of the co- facilitators the following initiatives for consideration in the context of the Global Compact:
The validation of employment terms and contracts between countries of origin and destination, by the respective Governments, in order to mitigate contract substitution and end discrepancies between employment terms offered at home and received abroad Certification and mutual recognition of skills, towards a harmonised ecosystem between countries of origin and destination. Comprehensive Information and Orientation Programmes, which provide customised information on employment and countries of destination to temporary labour migrants, in order to ease transitions, protect and understand rights, and increase productivity Online platforms for information-sharing between governments of countries of origin and destination, including for processing applications and approval of applications for recruitment of workers and their deployment to CODs

Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD)
The Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) is a recent initiative of the United Nations Member States to address the migration and development interconnections in practical and action-oriented ways. It is an informal, non-binding, voluntary and government-led process that marks the culmination of more than a decade of international dialogue on the growing importance of the linkages between migration and development. It reflects the progressive acknowledgement of the limits of a strictly national approach to migration questions and implications at a global level in an intergovernmental framework. In view of the societal implications of these issues, civil society representatives have also been involved from the outset in this process. The GFMD Business Mechanism, endorsed at the 2015 GFMD Summit in Istanbul, brings the voice of business to the forum. There is clearly a mutual interest between governments, the private sector, and civil society, to promote more transparent, effective and humane migration policies, taking into accounts labour market needs. In the process, it has contributed to deepening the understanding of the complex relationship between migration and development, and infused the global debate on this critical issue with more clarity, objectivity and coherence. Germany and Morocco have assumed the co-chairmanship of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) from 1 January 2017 until 31 December 2018. Under the Operating Modalities of the GFMD adopted in 2007, the Forum meets every year for an inter-active and practice-oriented dialogue. It is attended by high-level and senior government policy-makers, and its deliberations are held under Chatham House Rules. A Report of Proceedings is prepared at the end of each Forum.
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM)
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is expected to be the first, intergovernmental negotiated agreement, prepared under the auspices of the United Nations, to cover all dimensions of international migration in a holistic and comprehensive manner. It presents a significant opportunity to improve the governance on migration, to address the challenges associated with today’s migration, and to strengthen the contribution of migrants and migration to sustainable development. The process to develop this Global Compact for

Ministry of Telecommunication, Foreign Employment and Sports Annual Performance Reports - 2018 Migration started in April 2017. The General Assembly will then hold an intergovernmental conference on international migration in December 2018 with a view to adopting the Global Compact.
For the first time on 19 September 2016 Heads of State and Government came together to discuss, at the global level within the UN General Assembly, issues related to migration and refugees. This sent an important political message that migration and refugee matters have become major issues in the international agenda. In adopting the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, the 193 UN Member States recognized the need for a comprehensive approach to human mobility and enhanced cooperation at the global level and committed to:
protect the safety, dignity and human rights and fundamental freedoms of all migrants, regardless of their migratory status, and at all times; support countries rescuing, receiving and hosting large numbers of refugees and migrants; integrate migrants – addressing their needs and capacities as well as those of receiving communities – in humanitarian and development assistance frameworks and planning; combat xenophobia, racism and discrimination towards all migrants; develop, through a state-led process, non-binding principles and voluntary guidelines on the treatment of migrants in vulnerable situations; and strengthen global governance of migration, including by bringing IOM into the UN family and through the development of a Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration
The entry of Sri Lanka to the Middle East and African labor market registered a land mark development in the entire foreign employment industry with macro and micro level impact on both economy and social life of the country on which different positive and negative dimensions have been discussed by various researchers and policy planners through the past two decades
