Reducing the vulnerabilities of internal migrants to labour exploitation and poor health and nutritional outcomes in the peri-urban areas of Yangon

Objective of the call for proposals

To expand the opportunities for safe migration, LIFT began funding a US$17 million Migration Programme in 2016. The seven projects supported under this funding window constitute the largest migration programme in Myanmar. Building on this initiative, LIFT is currently seeking proposals from qualified organisations 1 to implement projects that reduce the vulnerability of internal migrants to labour exploitation and poor health and nutritional outcomes in the peri-urban areas of Yangon. The proposed activities should start no later than 1 July 2019 and end before 30 June 2022. To support the long-term sustainability of the programme results, LIFT strongly encourages proposals from and/or implemented in partnership with civil society and labour organizations. A portion of the funds have been allocated for this purpose (see section 5 for more detail).
