With support from the German Development Cooperation through the Ghanaian-European Centre for Jobs, Migration and Development (GEC), the IOM Ghana brought together representatives from the Labour Department Ghana and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ghana for a two-day capacity-building training aimed at strengthening protection mechanisms for labour migrants.
The training introduced participants to the National Complaints Mechanism, a one-stop platform that enables labour migrants within and outside Ghana to report employment-related concerns, seek assistance, and access redress services.
Participants also enhanced their knowledge and skills in Psychological First Aid (PFA), Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), and the identification, referral, and protection of vulnerable migrants, including victims of trafficking and smuggled migrants.
By strengthening the capacity of key institutions and fostering collaboration among stakeholders, this initiative contributes to safer, more responsive, and rights-based labour migration governance in Ghana.
The Ghanaian-European Centre is an initiative of the Bundesministerium fรผr wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ), co-funded by the European Union in Ghana and implemented by GIZ Ghana in partnership with the Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment - Ghana. See less
