A/HRC/17/33/Add.2 includes a number of joint declarations on the management of migratory flux between these two countries. The Spanish Ministry of Labour cooperates with the Senegalese Ministry of Labour on recruiting labour migrants, in exchange for help in preventing unauthorized departures.14 An agreement signed in November 2007 in the context of the Framework Agreement provided for, among other things, the recruitment of 2,000 Senegalese fishers over a period of two years and included pre-departure recruitment and training. It is reported that since 2007, more than 1,500 Senegalese went to Spain to work in the fishery, agriculture and cleaning sectors under the auspices of this Agreement. Successful applicants, generally women, were given temporary contracts - most were for seasonal work in the agriculture sector, lasting four months. The workers were also required to return to Senegal upon expiry of the contract.15 In addition, 2,000 Senegalese fishermen would be trained and recruited by Spanish fishing enterprises. By April 2009 more than 4,000 applications for these openings had been received, out of which 660 candidates were selected for training.16 56. An agreement on the repatriation of unaccompanied Senegalese minors arriving in Spain irregularly, signed by the Governments of Spain and Senegal on 5 December 2006, came into force on 18 July 2008. The agreement is aimed at (a) strengthening cooperation through a framework to prevent the emigration of, as well as to protect and repatriate, unaccompanied minors, (b) establishing a permanent dialogue and exchanging data and information to tackle these issues efficiently, and (c) promoting the re-insertion of the children.17 The Special Rapporteur was informed that, at the time of his visit to Senegal, there were around 500 unaccompanied minors in Spain, of which 11 had been verified as Senegalese. 57. Senegal also signed an agreement with Gabon on the mobility of Senegalese teachers, as well as a technical cooperation agreement with Djibouti concerning the recruitment of 40 Senegalese managers to strengthen the education and training system in the context of South-South cooperation. Senegal has social security agreements with Mali and Mauritania, as well as agreements with Mali and Guinea-Bissau on the return of child victims of trafficking. 58. In terms of bilateral cooperation among non-governmental organizations, the National Confederation of Senegalese Workers entered into a partnership for the management of migratory fluxes with one of the main trade union federations in Italy, the Italian Confederation of Workers’ Trade Unions (CISL). 14 15 16 17 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, International Migration Outlook 2008 (2008), p. 278.
