About the Project:

The Reintegration of Migrant Workers in Bangladesh is a four-year initiative supported by Embassy of Switzerland in Bangladesh to support Bangladeshi migrant workers successfully rebuild their lives after returning home. Implemented across 08 migration-prone districts in Bangladesh- Barishal, Chattagram, Cumilla, Faridpur, Munshiganj, Narsingdi, Noakhali, Tangail,  the project provides counselling, skills development,  and referral services through dedicated Migration and Reintegration Support Centres (MRSCs). The initiative aims to strengthen economic opportunities, social stability, and community resilience for returnee migrants. The project ends in November 2026.

The role also requires proactive engagement and timely communication with local stakeholders—such as duty bearers, Local Government Institutions, media representatives, returnee migrant forums, and other relevant organizations—to strengthen advocacy, collaboration, and service linkages, ensuring the effective and sustainable delivery of programme interventions at the community level.

• Establish linkages with local industries, institutions, and relevant projects to facilitate employment and job placement opportunities for returnee migrants.

• Identify and document best practices and case stories, and prepare quality periodic reports, activity updates, and MIS in line with project requirements.
