Program Background
The Strengthening Pacific Labour Mobility (SPLM) Programme encompasses the Recognised Seasonal Employment (RSE) scheme, with the New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) overseeing the New Zealand-based components and DT Global delivering the Technical Assistance Package.
The Technical Assistance Package supports Pacific Labour Mobility Units (LMUs) across nine Pacific countries (Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Timor Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu), to manage the full labour mobility cycle through practical, Pacific-led assistance that builds capability and ownership. The program focuses on strengthening LMU systems and capability, supporting pre-departure preparation for workers and their families, and strengthening policies and systems for successful worker reintegration.
