We focus on training and upskilling trainers to ensure they can effectively prepare migrant workers for the realities of working and living abroad. This includes developing and implementing standardized training programs to certify trainers in various aspects of pre-departure orientation, offering ongoing professional development opportunities for trainers to stay updated on the latest practices and policies in labor migration, and creating specialized training modules that trainers can use to address the specific needs and challenges of different categories of migrant workers.

MILTA acts as a unified voice for the interests of PDTCs and migrant workers by collaborating with the Ministry of Gender, Labour, and Social Development and other relevant government agencies to influence policy and uphold migrant workers’ rights. We partner with organizations such as the IOM and ILO to align our programs with global standards and practices, and we work with recruitment agencies to ensure ethical recruitment practices and compliance with national and international standards.

MILTA is committed to continuous improvement through rigorous monitoring and evaluation of our programs and services. We regularly evaluate the effectiveness of our training programs to ensure they meet the needs of migrant workers, gather feedback from trainees, PDTCs, and other stakeholders to identify areas for improvement, and continuously update our curricula and training methods based on the latest research and best practices in the field of labor migration, ensuring high-quality control.

MILTA Uganda provides comprehensive counseling and support services, including HIV awareness and prevention education, tailored for potential migrant workers. These services aim to equip individuals with vital health information, fostering safer migration practices. MILTA collaborates with licensed Pre-Departure Safe Migration Orientation and Training Centers (PDTCs) to address migrants’ physical and emotional well-being. By promoting HIV testing, offering support for those affected, and advocating for stigma-free environments, MILTA ensures informed decision-making and health-conscious migration. These efforts reflect MILTA’s commitment to safeguarding the rights and health of migrants, aligning with the global objectives for humane and orderly migration.

We emphasize the importance of research and data collection to inform policies and practices that support safe migration. By working with accredited Pre-Departure Safe Migration Orientation and Training Centers (PDTCs), MILTA gathers critical insights into migration trends, challenges, and opportunities. This data is used to identify potential risks, such as exploitation or unsafe working conditions, and to improve pre-departure training programs. MILTA also conducts studies on health, labor rights, and socio-economic factors affecting migrants. Through evidence-based research, MILTA ensures its services align with international standards, contributing to safer, informed, and orderly migration processes
