IN AFRICA MIGRATION FOR DEVELOPMENT II. The strategic framework for managing migration IN AFRICA xxiii. Provide social protection and social security benefits, particularly unemployment insurance, compensation for employment injury and old age pension for labour migrants while working abroad and/or upon their return. xxiv. Incorporate the laws and rules of host countries when recruiting non-national migrant labour for employment, while contracts of employment must be supervised and retained by the governments of the host and sending States. xxv. The incorporation of ‘good practice’ strategies in managing migration recognises the vulnerability of migrant labour to unemployment, at times when national economies experience a reduction in the requirement of labour. Consequently, States which have made arrangements to recruit migrant labour are urged to ensure labour migrants experiencing job losses are adequately provided for, or receive financial assistance for return to their states of origin. xxvi. Ensure that indigent regular migrants who may lose their job are not returned to their State of origin, unless there is an interstate agreement to this effect and s/he shall not have her/his right of residence and work permit withdrawn. These migrants should receive equality of treatment regarding security of employment, alternative employment, relief work and return. xxvii. Incorporate equality of opportunity measures that ensure equal access for labour migrants and nationals in the areas of employment, occupation, working conditions, remuneration, social security, education and geographical mobility. xxviii.
