Regional Guidelines for the Development of Bilateral Labour Agreements in the Southern African Development Community
Bilateral labour agreements (BLAs) are part of the broader set of frameworks, laws, technical instruments and practices that make up national labour migration policies. Improving the quality and efficiency of BLAs in ensuring rights-based labour migration requires State and non-State actors (social partners and key stakeholders) involved in the making and implementation of BLAs to develop their expertise and capacity in this increasingly technical area. Section 2 of this guide provides technical guidance at each step of the design and implementation of bilateral labour agreements. It also discussion examples of good practices.
