Request for Proposal: An Assessment to understand the nature and impact of migration on SRH and HIV services utilisation among migrants and host populations in Ehlanzeni District:

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls upon all states to implement well-managed migration policies, and facilitate safe, orderly and regular migration. Similarly, the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM)- a global framework on a common approach to international migration in all its dimensions – is a document that captures the commitments of heads of states to improve migration management. It recognises that migration is part of the human experience and will therefore require a multi-partner approach to manage migration for it to be beneficial to all. The GCM recognises that migration can contribute to prosperity, innovation and sustainable development and subsequently articulates 23 objectives for safe, orderly and regular migration.

The two key GCM objectives linked to the SRHR-HIV Knows No Border project work are objective one which focuses on the availability of accurate data and objective 15 which focuses on access to basic services for migrants.  Objective 15 aims to ensure that all migrants, regardless of status, have safe access to basic services. This objective includes a number of recommendations to facilitate access to basic services by migrants. While the objective focuses especially on eligibility and access to health care and education, fundamental human rights also exist in relation to adequate housing, food, social security, and work, as set out in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Under Objective 15, migrants should have safe access to basic services in all of these areas. In addition to recognising the rights of migrants to access basic services, it is critical to evaluate and monitor whether and how Objective 15 is implemented in national law, policy and practice.
