In Ghana, where unemployment and poverty are on the rise, many Ghanaian health workers are enticed and compelled to seek ‘greener pastures’ in Europe and in North America. Without adequate information preparation, aspiring migrants cannot make informed decisions on whether it is really in their best interest to migrate.

This Pre-Decision and Information Kit is specifically intended to provide aspiring migrant workers information on required documents before travel, recruitment procedures, workers’ rights, including the right to join a trade union, illegal recruitment practices, support services for migrant workers and contacts of Ghanaian Embassies and High Commissions abroad.
