The Global Migrant Workers Forum 2024 took place from July 17 to July 19 at the Enashipai Resort in Naivasha, Nakuru County, Kenya.
The international summit convened governments, trade unions, civil society organizations, and international agencies to address systemic challenges facing labor migrants.
Held alongside the 2024 Cities Alliance Assembly's 25th anniversary, discussions highlighted climate-induced displacement, urban migration pressures, and fair recruitment.
The FAIRWAY Programme Kenya and KUDHEIHA promoted worker education, while the ILO emphasized transparent information access for vulnerable migrants across East Africa.
A key milestone was Kenya's official launch of its National Migration Coordination Mechanism (NCM), an inter-agency platform designed to streamline national migration management.
Mwagale Foundation continues to advocate for safe labor pathways, transparent recruitment, and cross-border protection for African migrant workers.
