The overall objective of this programme is to ensure that all Filipinos migrating to other countries are adequately prepared to meet the practical and psychological problems attendant to international migration.

The Migrant Social and Economic Integration Programme will undertake activities designed to provide Filipino emigrants with adequate structured information and advice about all aspects of migration to their countries of destination, as well as assistance in achieving early social and economic adjustment within their new environment.

This programme also provides for a continuing linkage with registered Filipino migrants, and a means by which migrants can be assisted by cooperating organizations in the process of adjustment and settlement in their host countries.
