Access to education is fundamental in leaving no one behind in the thrust towards SDGs. In that regard, Indonesia, working together with CSOs and private sectors, has established several community learning centers in Malaysia to ensure access to education for the children of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia.

The M&D Mainstreaming Guide primarily aims to help the local governments of CALABARZON (Laguna, Batangas, Cavite, Rizal and Quezon) in integrating M&D into their local planning, and provide them with a sample menu of services that their localities can provide for the migrants and their families. It will also provide pertinent information on international migration, issues of migrants and the national government agencies involved in M&D initiatives so the LGUs could link up with them.
