Introduction The ILO’s technical cooperation project in the State of Qatar began in 2018. Phase 1 (2018-2021) saw the introduction of a series of significant changes in law and policy to enhance the protection of the rights of migrant workers. Phase 2 (2021-2024) supported the implementation of the new legal and policy framework. The third phase of the project (2024-2027) will focus on consolidating these efforts and will also address a number of priorities that are emerging from the 3rd National Development Strategy, and the changing dynamics of the labour market in Qatar.

Moreover, the protection of the rights of workers remains a priority.
