Starting from 2008, the government of Ecuador launched the campaign "Todos Somos Migrantes" (We are all migrants) which aimed at raising awareness on the importance of migrants, as well as promoting principle of universal citizenship, the right of all human being to migrate and harmonious coexistence. In 2010, the campaign refocused its objective to fighting against discrimination, racism and xenophobia.

The Philippines has developed a comprehensive protective mechanism covering all phases of migration, which includes a mandatory orientation programme for workers who are about to leave for employment abroad. This programme seeks to facilitate workers’ smooth arrival in and adjustment to the country of destination, teaches them coping mechanisms if faced with difficulties, and to obtain other essential information to prevent welfare problems. It also includes skills-specific training for vulnerable sectors, such as domestic workers.
In 2006, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration Governing Board has approved a series of resolutions defining policy reforms that seek to improve the lot of household workers, particularly migrant domestic workers coming from abroad. These include upgrading of skills of the workers, orientation course on country-specific culture and language, protective mechanisms at the job sites, obliging employers to shoulder the cost of deploying the domestic helper, and increasing the minimum salary to a level commensurate to their acquired competencies.

Inside Morocco, three priorities guide the work of this Ministry, aiming at restoring the confidence of members of CMRE in the administration, strengthening of support for their return and their mobilization for participation in development efforts in Morocco.

The framework defines how the EU conducts its policy dialogues and cooperation with non-EU countries, based on clearly defined priorities and embedded in the EU’s overall external action, including development cooperation.
