Multisectoral Emergency Response to Conflict and Climate Shock Affected Internally Displaced Populations and Communities in Northern Mozambique – Phase III Mozambique faces a triple humanitarian crisis with conflict, reoccurring disasters related to natural hazards and climactic shocks, and the impact of the coronavirus becoming increasingly complex. While the multisectoral response in Northern Mozambique has increased, the needs remain high. There is an urgent need to scale up in the listed areas to ensure adequate response to the needs of those affected by the conflict in Northern Mozambique while also ensuring capacity to respond to sudden onset climatic shocks which commonly occur during Mozambique's annual cyclone season from November to May and affect coastal and low-lying areas. 
 
In response, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) provides a lifesaving multi-sectoral response and mitigation assistance for displaced people and host communities in northern Mozambique. Contributing to humanitarian coordination, IOM continues the implementation of the Displacement Tracking Matrix and maintains leadership positions in cluster coordination mechanisms, particularly for the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) and Shelter clusters. Moreover, IOM is strengthening its provision of protection, mental health and psychosocial support, shelter and settlements, CCCM, and water, sanitation and hygiene services.

These recommendations will be transformed into a guidance document that will be translated, distributed to all Member States, and made available online.
Emergency Protection and MHPSS Support for Returnees in Eastern Chad Chadian returnees are Chadian nationals who were living in western regions of Sudan prior to the outbreak of violence in April 2023. Many had well established lives and livelihoods in Sudan, some running small businesses or engaging in subsistence farming. The outbreak of violence in Darfur left households with little choice but to pack what they could carry and flee over the border into Chad. Despite being Chadian citizens, many of these returnees no longer have family ties or connections to towns and villages in Chad. 
 
Through this project, IOM focuses on delivering critical protection, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) in Ouaddaï and Sila provinces. IOM is already the main protection and MHPSS actor for returnees in eastern Chad, operating through a community-based approach spearheaded by local actors. IOM continues working with and strengthening existing community-based protection mechanisms, supporting community-led initiatives, and directly addressing the urgent needs of the affected population. In parallel, IOM is expanding psychosocial interventions in the major returnee sites of Deguessa (Sila province) and Tongori (Ouaddaï province). Additionally, IOM is strengthening coordination with other protection partners, focusing on capacity building and strengthening robust referral systems for both protection and MHPSS interventions.

The effectiveness and sustainability of the programme is enhanced by adopting and mainstreaming the human security approach, which aims to advance protection and empowerment strategies and responses that are people-centered, context-specific, comprehensive, and prevention-oriented.
Danish contribution to the Migrant Protection, Return and Reintegration in North Africa (MPRR-NA) programme The Action aims at contributing to the safe and dignified return of vulnerable and stranded migrants from North Africa, and the sustainable reintegration into their countries of origin. IOM’s protection, return and reintegration programming is conceived as a rights-based intervention which aims at actively protecting and upholding the rights of migrants. This means anchoring programs in gender-responsive, child- and vulnerability-sensitive perspectives, with an essential emphasis on migrant agency and a rigorous mainstreaming of humanitarian principles such as Do-No-Harm, accountability and Confidentiality. At all levels of intervention, partnership and cooperation with best placed actors will not only ensure that respective expertise is leveraged in the best interest of beneficiaries, but also that sustainability of interventions is maximized.Capacity building will aim to strengthen government ownership (whether central or local) – as primary duty bearers – and promote a multidisciplinary - whole-of-government - approach.The Overall Objective of this Action is that vulnerable and stranded migrants from North Africa safely and voluntarily return to their countries of origin and sustainably reintegrate.To contribute to this Overall Objective, the Action will enable migrants in North Africa to access protection services based on needs, in particular enabling them to return to their countries of origin safely, voluntarily and in dignity. IOM aims at all migrants supported through the programme declaring that they have been able to return in a safe manner.
First Step: Online Pre-departure Integration Measures (PDIMs) in Malta The project aims at preparing third country nationals interested in working in Malta for life through the provision of solid guidelines for the design of an online platform in which they can enroll to training courses as well as getting information on cultural orientation, covering social, cultural, economic, and historical aspects, rights and duties before entering Malta. It will equip the migrant population with information about labour and migration related laws, sociocultural norms and practices. The trainings and online tools will provide critical information about Malta and identify the skills and attitudes needed for migrants to successfully integrate.On the basis of this project, an online platform with a range of useful PDIMs will be designed in order to contribute to an optimized integration of migrants into the Maltese society. This platform will enable them to fully use their competencies and skills, become an asset to the country, as well as reducing the risk of labour exploitation, and to feel empowered in the workplace and the community.

Multi-Sectoral Response to Increased CCCM, S-NFIs, WASH, and Health Multi-Sectoral Response to Increased Cccm, S-Nfis, Wash, and Health Needs of the Most Vulnerable Populations Affected by Increased Violence, Natural Disasters and Food Insecurity in Over 8.9 million people (including 4.6 million children) are estimated to need some form of humanitarian assistance and protection in South Sudan in 2022. Their situation is worsened by endemic violence, conflict, access constraints and operational interference, public health challenges such as direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 and climatic shocks resulting in the dual phenomena of extraordinary flooding and localized drought, which have a severe impact on people’s livelihoods, hampers access to education and water, sanitation and hygiene and health services. Through this project, IOM is implementing a multi-sectoral and lifesaving response to the acute humanitarian needs of people affected by recent events of sub-national violence, and flooding in Warrap, Jonglei, Western Equatoria and Unity State by providing frontline interventions in camp coordination and camp management, water sanitation and hygiene, shelter, non-food items, and health.
UNDP Contribution for the Benefit of the IOM, to Strengthen the Collection and Processing of Data and the Operationalization of a Drought Early Warning System Due to its climatic, social and economic characteristics, Madagascar is certainly one of the countries most exposed and vulnerable to climatic hazards. The drought regularly affecting the south of the country is only one of their manifestations, but its importance requires joint action and solid tools to better anticipate, respond and recover. Early Warning Systems (EWS) are therefore essential elements making it possible to inform decisions to better anticipate, prepare, respond and recover from this type of crisis. Furthermore, the Anticipatory Actions (AA) which will be triggered by the alerts must be part of harmonized and concrete frameworks, validated by all stakeholders under the leadership of the government. It is with this observation that a consortium of four agencies (UNDP, WFP, UNICEF and FAO) prepared and won a two-year project financed by ECHO (European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations) entitled "Operationalization of the System of "Early Warning (SAP) and Anticipatory Actions (AA) in the Great South for anticipation of the risk of drought and increased resilience of the populations and institutions of Madagascar".
Addressing the Humanitarian and Protection Needs of Displaced Persons in Haiti through a Multisectoral Approach The security situation in Haiti is becoming increasingly fragile, as gangs continue to expand their reach, causing further displacement in the Port-au-Prince Metropolitan Area (MAPAP) and in some provincial towns. Of the 198,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) reported by IOM, 93% of them have been displaced by gang violence. This wave of violence perpetrated by armed groups is having a negative impact on all sectors of the country. Displaced people are not only suffering from the violation of property rights, where their homes have been looted and burned, they are also lacking basic services. Understanding the extreme vulnerability of IDPs in the MAPAP, IOM is supporting displaced populations by addressing their humanitarian and protection needs through a multi sectoral approach. The project's objective is to contribute to creating safe and dignified living conditions for IDPs by gang violence in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince and mitigate the protection risks they are exposed. IOM is realising this by improving the Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI), Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) and Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) responses.
Facilitating Sustainable Reintegration of Voluntary Returnees through Business Support in Nigeria (Phase 5) Since 2017, the project aims at contributing to the sustainability of reintegration of voluntary returnees by improving their performance as professional entrepreneurs and thus the durability of individual business projects and reintegration into local structures. It comprises two main components: 1) Entrepreneurship training for voluntary returnees (business training and on-the-job training) and 2) access to micro credits through a SEM-financed revolving fund.

Improved Sanitation and Waste Management for Rohingya Camps and Host Communities in Bangladesh Due to the Rohingya refugee influx from Rakhine State in Myanmar to the Cox’s Bazar District of Bangladesh in August 2017, the population of two upazilas (Ukhiya and Teknaf) located in the southern part of the Cox’s Bazar district, has grown to approximately 1.5 million people. This has significantly complicated existing sanitation challenges. It is estimated that over 10,000 tons (approximately 22,000m3) of waste is produced per month in the two upazilas, both of which lack a functioning solid waste management system and for which no land is currently available. The project focuses on life-saving activities through sanitation maintenance, decentralized faecal sludge treatment, localized solid-waste management and improved drainage systems in the refugee camp and identified adjacent host communities in Ukhiya Upazila. The proposed response improves IOM operations by continuing water, sanitation and hygiene, site management and site development, and protection services in targeted refugee camps and communities using existing and proposed interventions.
Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration Programme IOM launched the assisted voluntary return and reintegration (AVRR) programme from Japan in 2013 to facilitate the voluntary return and sustainable reintegration of migrants without residential status in Japan to their countries of origin. The project aims to contribute to improving the protection and sustainable reintegration of migrants and migration management of the Government of Japan by providing AVRR services as alternative to long-term detention or forcible removal/deportation.
Reintegration Assistance for Migrants in Switzerland The project aims at contributing to the sustainable reintegration in the coutries of origin of returnees from Switzerland.

Strengthening Resilience of Afghan Nationals and Host Communities in Pakistan through Multi-sectoral Interventions Instability in Afghanistan during the past few decades has led to a substantial influx of Afghans into Pakistan. Per current estimates, there are 3.7 million Afghans living in Pakistan. In this project, IOM is seeking to expand its support to vulnerable Afghan nationals in Pakistan and host communities to enhance their living conditions and resilience. This is being achieved through a set of activities centred around facilitating Afghans access to services through efforts to mitigate the tensions that might arise with the host community and through efforts targeting both the basic and longer-term needs of targeted populations. Adopting a community-owned approach and a holistic approach to meeting the multiple needs of affected populations, the activities engage humanitarian and development stakeholders, Government of Pakistan (GoP), local authorities, civil society, and beneficiaries themselves.

Climate Resilience Against Trafficking and Exploitation (CREATE) The Climate Resilience Against Trafficking and Exploitation (CREATE) project is a pilot initiative focusing on the nexus between climate change and human trafficking. Working at the community-level in key hotspot locations in Ethiopia and Philippines, the project will seek to reduce risks of trafficking by supporting the communities to be more climate-resilient and trafficking-aware. The project will also contribute to enhancing the evidence-base on the ways in which climate change can impact migration and vulnerability to trafficking, and generate learning about potential responses.
Solar Solutions to Support Civilian Resilience Since February 2022, the armed conflict has affected a major part of Ukraine with Northern, Eastern, and Southern regions most affected. The crisis has been typified by extensive population displacement and destruction of infrastructure, supply chains, and residential housing. Continuous attacks on energy infrastructure have resulted in the disruption of basic utilities and long-term power outages. With authorities overwhelmed with unpredictable dynamics, the Government of Ukraine is analysing solutions to manage the energy crisis and support resilience to power outages. This includes exploring alternative power sources to support vulnerable households; along with social institutions and facilities, and collective centres, to provide critical services to the population. 
 
In response to a request from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the Government of the United Kingdom to support in piloting the distribution of energy efficient sources, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is supporting warehousing capacities, selecting appropriate sites/targeting, distributing and supporting installation of solar kits.
Building the Capacity of the Government of Gabon towards the Establishment of a National Observatory on Migration The objective of the project is to develop a baseline study with the goal of establishing a National Observatory on Migration, which in turn would contribute to better migration governance in Gabon based on reliable and accurate information on migration and allow for the development of evidence-based policies and hence address potential challenges related to migration. The study will analyze available data on migration flows in the country, data collection sources and data collection method.  It will also analyse the institutional model of the future National Observatory on Migration, its structure and functions and the specific needs for optimal functioning of the Observatory. Further, a workshop targeted at government authorities and relevant civil society members, will be organized to strengthen their knowledge on migration.
