Impact

Research from the Egypt-Jordan corridor has unpacked how Jordan’s legal framework unintentionally exploits Egyptian migrant workers and provides recommendations to inform policies that can improve the lives of migrants, their families and communities.

The UNESCO Chair in ICT4D, through its MIDEQ Hub work package, has been actively collaborating with migrants to understand their use of digital technology and facilitating the creation of digital solutions with local tech developers. They are working to enhance the lives of Nepali migrants, with a particular focus on a trusted online platform called pardesi.org.np, which consolidates support for migrants.
