The Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), in partnership with the National Coordinating Committee for Combating and Preventing Illegal Migration and Trafficking in Persons (NCCPIM & TIP), and the Egyptian Ministry of Labor organized a three-day capacity-building workshop with support of the Spanish Ministry of Labor and Social
Economy.
Under the framework of the (CONMIGO) project funded by the European Union and implemented by Spain, the workshop offered Egyptian labor inspectors the knowledge needed to perform effective inspections and combat undeclared and exploitative labor.
The opening session was moderated by Ambassador Naela Gabr, chairperson of the NCCPIM & TIP, who emphasized the urgency and sensitivity of migration related crimes.
During the training sessions, a panel of both Spanish and Egyptian experts furnished participants with relevant legal knowledge and institutional strategies, including methods for fairrecruitment.
At the closing ceremony, the Spanish Ambassador to Egypt, Álvaro Iranzo, stressed the importance of this institutional collaboration, and the crucial work of labor inspectors on these matters.
The CONMIGO project is dedicated to improving migration governance in Egypt. The Spanish Cooperation is honored to be working closely with the NCCPIM & TIP to develop the capacities of all involved stakeholders in order to make migration a driving force of development. Project activities employ a multidimensional approach to migration governance in line with the objectives of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.
