What We Do - Afro Labour Rights Initiative (ALARI)
We are committed to advancing employment justice, promoting a just transition, and safeguarding fair labour migration systems across Africa. Our work is rooted in practical action, legal expertise, policy advocacy, and community empowerment. We deliver impact through the following key areas:
– Policy Research and Consultancy
– Strategic Litigation
– Capacity Building
– Migrant Worker Support and Reintegration Programs
– Public Awareness and Community Mobilization
– Collaboration and Partnerships
We conduct in-depth research and analysis of current labour migration policies, worker protection laws, and emerging trends in employment justice. Based on this research, we develop evidence-based policy recommendations and engage with governments, international bodies, and employers to influence legislative and policy reforms that promote workers’ rights, fair migration practices, just transition and economic inclusion for all workers, including those in informal sectors.
We provide litigation support services to employees and migrant workers to enforce their rights, including seeking compensation for work-related injuries, recovering unpaid wages and terminal benefits, and securing access to social security and pension funds. Our legal team advocates for systemic change by challenging unjust practices, fighting for fair labour standards, and representing workers and employers in the labour adjudication forums, both national and international.
We provide support services for migrant workers before, during, and after their employment. This includes processing suitable immigration facilities; pre-departure training on workers' rights, safe migration practices, and legal protections; in-country advocacy and support for migrant workers facing exploitation or abuse; and reintegration programs for returnees, ensuring they have access to social services, employment opportunities, and legal recourse upon their return to their home countries.

We collaborate with international organizations, NGOs, trade unions, and government agencies to promote regional and global standards for labour migration and employment justice. By forming strategic partnerships, we ensure that advocacy, capacity building, and legal initiatives are aligned with international conventions, regional treaties and protocols, and are tailored to meet the specific needs of our local contexts.
