The seasonal foreign worker programme aims to facilitate circular migration, provides employers with regulations and guidelines on their obligations and ensures the protection of migrant workers' rights. The programme focuses on origin countries with which France has concluded bilateral agreements: Tunisia, Morocco, and Poland.
This practice facilitates the investments of individual Malians or Malian Diaspora associations in France in local community development projects or enterprise creation in Mali. Participation in this programme by Malian migrants in France is not conditional on permanent return.
This programme addresses all aspects of migration, including annual consultations between France and Mali and twinning arrangements between villages.
