International Org/Dev/Coop / seasonal immigrant workers
Spanish term or phrase: contratos en origen
This refers to a system of recruiting seasonal agricultural workers in their home countries so that they can legally travel to Spain and work on short-term contracts - in contrast to travelling without a work contract (and then trying to find work when they arrive).
I'm not sure how this would best be expressed in English, and Google is not proving to be much help...

"su modelo de gestión de la mano de obra extranjera estacional y los contratos en origen, todo ello, ante todo, para luchar contra la inmigración ilegal y mantener la supervivencia de una agricultura intensiva"

"Desde 2007 se lleva organizando una asociación de mano de obra entre Marruecos y España con la finalidad de que miles de mujeres marroquíes puedan ir a trabajar en el marco del proyecto de los contratos en origen. "

"El proyecto de los contratos en origen se pone en marcha en un contexto de voluntad de transparencia, rigor y reducción de los flujos migratorios irregulares. "

Many thanks

worded to fit your sentence, perhaps "framework of a project geared towards awarding/whose purpose is to award work contracts in immigrant's/temporary worker's/job seeker's country of origin/home country".

country of origin contracting


Explanation:
I'm not aware of an equivalent term in English, so you could either go with something like 'country of origin contracting', or use the original expression with an explanation, as in this article: http://www.internationalcommunistparty.org/index.php?option=...
(although with a less negative tone of course!)
