In response to COVID-19, to facilitate stronger livelihood support for returnee migrants, Rojgari and UKaid सीप launched the ‘अब देशमै छ रोजगारीʼ Campaign in July 2020, which is designed to reach and register migrant returnees and forge stronger collaborations with various stakeholders of the skilling, employment, and entrepreneurship system. The goal is to reach and empower at least 10,000 disadvantaged youth, especially returnee migrants, with connections to skilling, jobs, and enterprise support services available from various market actors. In the process, Rojgari Services is also working with industries/employers to improve their understanding of and investments in good human resource practices such as skilling and Gender and Social Inclusion (GESI)-intentional recruitment and retention practices.
