Description
Migrant CARE formed migrant worker groups and developed the DESBUMI (Village that Cares for Migrant Workers) initiative in 37 villages. DESBUMI is supported through local government regulations to provide village-based services for migrant workers before, during and after migration including: pre-departure training, financial literacy, case handling, and supporting access to government services and programs such as social protection and economic programs for former migrants.
Using evidence from DESBUMI, Migrant CARE successfully advocated for the new Law on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (No. 18 of 2017). Two thirds of Migrant CARE’s proposals for changes to the 2004 law on migrant workers were incorporated into the revised law. DESBUMI model has been established in 36 villages. By forming village-level migrant worker groups, migrant workers and their families are empowered to participate actively in government meetings on development planning and budgeting known as Musrenbang in all 8 districts. Through membership in women’s groups, DESBUMI has strengthened grassroots women’s leadership. A number of the members have been elected as members of the Village-level Consultative Body (BPD) in Banyuwangi, Wonosobo, Jember and Central Lombok.
In 2017 the Ministry of Manpower launched their ‘Desmigratif’ model for village-based services for migrant workers. Known as ‘Productive Migrant Village’ it is being rolled out in 50 districts across Indonesia, and was influenced by DESBUMI. During COVID-19 pandemic, this initiative enlarger for combatting COVID-19 in village level. This program was implemented in Indramayu,Wonosobo, Jember, and Banyuwangi and was initiated by Migrant Care. The COVID-19 pandemic declared by WHO (March 2020) had profound impacts on the migrant workers' community, both in destination countries and in their hometowns. Since then, many migrant workers had returned to their hometowns because of the economic contraction due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The Village that Cares for Migrant Workers (DESBUMI) and the local COVID-19 Task Force worked together to minimize the impact of the migrant workers’ arrival from abroad. The activities included dissemination about COVID-19, health protocol campaign, preparation of isolation places, as well as sewing masks and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Migrant CARE and local NGO in five provinces, 7 districs and 38 villages. Working together with national government (especially Ministry of Labour, Ministry of Foreign Affairs). Our direct beneficiaries are migrant communities at grassroots level.
