Summary:

Given the practical action oriented focus, the agreed checklist will be launched by the governments of Jamaica, Ghana and others at GFMD 2012 in Mauritius as a migration and development practice. The launching governments will initiate a "call for action" for governments to identify which provisions in the checklist are already being implemented in their countries and send in these good practices to UN Women. With the help of partner agencies, responses will be collected and an analytical inventory of protection initiatives by GFMD governments developed. This will (a) help bring more evidence into future discussions and (b) inform the development of a migration and development policy tool kit that guides action to protect domestic workers.
