November 7th a Memorandum of Understanding will be signed between the
United Nations Development Programme and Migration Agency at the RA
Ministry of Territorial Administration
The Memorandum of Understanding will be signed by Consuelo Vidal,
UN Resident Coordinator, UNDP Resident Representative, and Gagik
Yeganyan, Head of the Migration Agency at the RA Ministry of
Territorial Administration.
Preventative in nature this MOU aims at putting in place a network to
enable due diligence inquiries, intended to reduce the likelihood of
labor migrants to become exploited and victims of trafficking. For
those cases where due diligence proves insufficient to prevent
trafficking, it aims to provide potentially useful leads for
investigation in the event of an intending labour migrant becoming
trafficked or, simply ‘gone missing’.
