Summary:

In 2013, the Cambodian Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training launched 8 prakas (ministerial orders) on standards for Private Recruitment Agencies (PRAs), their on-site service and repatriation processes, recruitment processes and pre-departure orientation training, the use of service contracts, inspection and ranking of PRAs, a process by which migrant workers can lodge complaints, and penalties and rewards for PRAs. These regulations aim to strengthen the existing protection mechanisms for migrant workers and set standards for private recruitment agencies, the recruitment process and pre-departure orientation training. This directly addresses the monitoring, regulation and supervision of recruitment practices for migrant workers.
