Targets on vulnerability and protection

The Tunisian National Strategy for Migration includes all the developments of the migration profile of Tunisians and refers to the human rights values entrenched in the second republic's constitution and in bilateral and multilateral aggreements related to migration. The strategy paper gives special attention to Tunisian living abroad, in order to protect their rights and to actively involve them to the political and economic transitions of the country.

The national strategy for migration has been decreed with the following main themes: 

The government’s "Assist WELL" Program caters to returning Filipino migrant workers displaced from their jobs due to war, epidemic, calamities, and other critical situations at their worksites.

The acronym WELL refers to 'Welfare, Employment, Livelihood, and Legal services' offered by the Labor Department to overseras Filipinos workers, with the participation of its attached agencies. 

The Journalists’ Union of Macedonia and Thrace Daily Newspapers in Greece has drafted a proposal for the adoption of the Anti-racism Ethics Code of the Greek journalists called The Charter of Idomeni, in the name of the border control village which thousands of refugees pass through to reach Northern European countries.

A four-year programme on intercultural mediation has been established to assist doctors in providing medical services for migrants in Greece. The introduction of intercultural mediators in hospitals facilitated communication between immigrants and hospital staff, thereby reducing cultural misunderstandings and promoting non discriminatory access to public health services. 

All too frequently, xenophobia against migrant workers is fuelled by populist attitudes that are divorced from the reality on the ground. Wittingly or unwittingly, media can play its part in creating an unbalanced discourse about migration, including labour migration. To mark International Migrants Day on December 18, 2015, the ILO aunched the “Reporting Fairly on Labour Migration” global media competition to recognize exemplary media coverage and fair reporting on the issue.

Community Hubs bring local communities and migrants together to build cohesive communities. Community Hubs Australia works with local communities and governments in multiple Australian states to support refugees and new migrants as they achieve independence and become active community members. Highly effective, the Hubs design and manage evidence-based programs to reach and support migrant/refugee women and pre-school children, who are hard to reach through traditional services.

The aim of the National Anti-Racism Strategy is to promote a clear understanding in the Australian community of what racism is, and how it can be prevented and reduced.

This aim is achieved through three objectives:

The DataShift is a multi-stakeholder, demand-driven initiative that builds the capacity and confidence of civil society organizations to generate and use citizen-generated data to monitor development progress, demand accountability and campaign for transformative change.  Ultimately, the vision is a world where people-powered accountability drives progress on sustainable development.

The Sendai Cooperation Initiative for Disaster Risk Reduction outlines Japan's cooperation for disaster risk reduction (DRR) from 2015 to 2018, through a triple approach combining: 1) non-material assistance, such as human resource development and institutional development, 2) material assistance centering on the development of quality infrastructure, and 3) the promotion of global and region-wide cooperation.          

The local authorities of Upala, in Costa Rica, have a key role in managing unique local migratory contexts. Upala is an immigration and transit zone at the border with Nicaragua, home to many Nicaraguan migrants in search of employment opportunities, access to social services and better living conditions or workplace of many Nicaraguans who cross the border each day to make a living, thus living in a ´cross border´context.
