Instituto de Estudios y Divulgaci6n sobre Migraci6n (INEDIM) is one of the leading research and policy advocacy organizations working on migration issues in Mexico. This project seeks to strengthen protections for temporary workers through improved recruitment standards and regulations in countries of origin. Using a study of existing international standards developed under a previous MacArthur grant as a baseline, INEDIM is working with local officials in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico, with the objective that each country adopts a set of improved standards and devises plans for their implementation. Project activities include advocacy meetings with government officials, advocates, and representatives of the private sector, as well as developing action plans for implementing improved standards.
