A Center for Pre-Departure Orientation and Reintegration for Migrants will be opened in Osh, aimed at raising awareness among residents about safe and legal employment pathways. The center will also organize pre-departure training programs and informational sessions, as well as assist in the reintegration of those who have returned from abroad. These initiatives were announced by representatives of the Ministry of Labor, Social Security, and Migration of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The initiative to establish the center was documented in a memorandum of cooperation signed between the Ministry of Labor, Social Security, and Migration of the KR and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Mission in Kyrgyzstan.
