Tripartite Action to Protect and Promote the Rights of Migrant Workers within and from the Greater Mekong Subregion (The GMS Triangle Project, 2010 - 2015)

The Tripartite Action to Protect Migrants Workers from Labour Exploitation (the GMS TRIANGLE project) aims to strengthen the formulation and implementation of recruitment and labour protection policies and practices in the Greater Mekong Sub-region, to ensure safer migration resulting in decent work.

The GMS TRIANGLE project, which is currently continued through TRIANGLE in ASEAN  programme, aimed to strengthen the formulation and implementation of recruitment and labour protection policies and practices, to ensure safe migration resulting in decent work. The project was operational in six countries: Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam. In each country, tripartite constituents (government, workers’ and employers’ organizations) were engaged in each of the GMS TRIANGLE project objectives - strengthening policy and legislation, building capacity of stakeholders, and providing services to migrant workers, through Migrant Worker Resource Centres. These goals were interdependent, with policy advocacy and capacity building activities driven by the voices, needs and experiences of workers, employers and service providers.
