Progressive Representation of Internal Migration and Risk Intelligence (PRIMARI) The International Organization for Migration’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is the largest primary data collector on internal displacement, having assessed 51.2 million internally displaced people (IDPs) and 47.8 million returnees across 95 countries in 2022. DTM believes that data are only truly useful and informative when they are available and actionable – meaning that they are interoperable and accessible – which is why mobility tracking datasets and analysis are already shared on the DTM website and the Humanitarian Data Exchange. This project consolidates DTM sub-national displacement data into a composite set on human mobility spanning up to 60 countries and layered with IOM migration data. This unique dataset will leverage a footprint of 100 active DTM operations to provide supranational insight into mobility that can be used for risk mapping and anticipatory action. This new use of data fosters more targeted, dignified humanitarian action in the most risk-prone contexts. Ensuring external validity, the dataset is complemented by a Metadata Repository to guide users on the data specificities from a methodological and operational perspective.

Therefore, providing a safe route through international airports and land borders in Rwanda is critical to maintain the standards of security and the possibility for Rwanda to support migrants and refugees in need as well as to play its critical role in the continental trade and free movement of people. Against this backdrop, the project aims to enhance border security in Rwanda main points of entry and protect vulnerable travellers and migrants, by strengthening its security system and equipment at the Kigali International Airport and Poids Lourds Border Post and the capacity of population and officers at the borders.
Republic of Moldova: Mainstreaming the Migration and Climate Change Perspective into the National Adaptation Plan-2 and Agriculture Sectoral Adaptation Plan on Climate Change Over 24 months, the proposed project aims to mainstream the migration, environment and climate change nexus into national adaptation planning. Firstly, IOM Moldova, together with the University of Vienna, will assess how, when and where migration – in its different forms – contributes to climate change adaptation and climate resilience, with a special focus on slow-onset hazards. Secondly, IOM Moldova will support the Ministry of Agriculture, Regional Development, and Environment to develop their contributions to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s work plan on human mobility in the context of climate change, and will foster an inter-ministerial dialogue with the Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Finance on the migration, environment, and climate change nexus within the framework of the National Adaptation Plan 2 (NAP-2) and Agriculture Sectoral Adaptation Plan (Ag.SAP). This includes awareness-raising, policy advice and technical guidance, capacity development, stakeholder consultations and raising visibility. It is expected that the initiative will contribute towards migration being more mainstreamed into the national policies on climate change and the environment, as well as the first steps being taken on unlocking the potential of migration to support climate action and adapting to climate change.

European Union Support to Uganda’s Engagement on Forced Displacement and Migration In Uganda, there are an estimated 1,734,200 displaced persons (including 1.5 Million refugees), representing approximately 3.9% of the population move across the country (Refugee- Migrant, 2019). In 2019/2020, 5% of Ugandans migrated internally, with 12% moving from rural to urban areas, and of irregular migration. The conditions surrounding migration processes increase community vulnerabilities. This is particularly true for those who migrate/ displaced voluntarily.  This has multiple impact on the socio – economic, public services and infrastructure hence increased risks and resource strain exacerbating the breakdown of the social fabric, migration, and forced displacement. The continuous population movement in, out and around Uganda has evolved into a prolonged and complex crisis which has consequently increased pressure on the communities and the Government of Uganda. Due to increased population movements, there is high number of persons seeking socio–economic support and livelihoods. This leads to stress on socio–economic, public services and infrastructure requiring the humanitarian development nexus initiatives. Uganda has an institutional framework and strong operational capacity to implement migration policy. The National Citizenship and Immigration Board and the Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control (DCIC), within the Ministry of Internal Affairs, are responsible for border management, the issuance of visas, processing citizenship applications, and deportations. The Diaspora Services Department is the dedicated government agency responsible for engaging with the Ugandan diaspora. A formal horizontal inter – ministerial coordination mechanism, the National Coordination Mechanism on Migration (NCM), was established in 2015 and is led by the Office of the Prime Minister. The NCM is comprised of key government agencies, international organizations, migration-related civil society organizations, and members of academia. IOM developed a Migration Governance Framework (MiGOF) to help countries define what “well-managed migration policy” might look like at the national level. The Migration Governance Indicators (MGI) were developed to assist countries operationalize the MiGOF by using a standard set of approximately 90 indicators which could be applied across six key policy domains on Migration and force displacement. The MGI aims to assist countries when advancing the conversation on migration governance by clarifying what “well-governed migration” might look like in the context of the SDG Target 10.7. Uganda has progressive policies to support the integration of forced and displaced populations including migrants.
Sudan Crisis Response: Multi-Sector Emergency Response to Ethiopian Migrants, Refugees and Third Country Nationals in Ethiopia The conflict that broke out in Sudan on 15 April 2023 between the Rapid Support Forces and Sudanese Amred Force continues to have devastating consequences for millions of civilians, with 24.7 million people estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance by December 2023.

Supporting the Government of Chad in Mainstreaming Migration, Environment, Climate Change  and Disaster Risk Reduction (MECR) in National Policymaking and Programming Over the last decade, the relationship between Migration, Environment, Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction (MECR) has gained visibility on the global policy agenda. However, in Chad, despite a growing number of people across the country being forced to move in the context of climate change, environmental degradation and disasters, limited data is currently available on the MECR nexus. The currently available data only paints a partial picture of the events and processes that lead to displacement and is insufficient to adequately inform the series of political and institutional reforms underway by the transitional Government of Chad, namely the updated National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and Long-Term Strategy (LTS).In light of the above, the objective of this project is to contribute to improved responses to the adverse effects of climate change, environmental degradation and disasters on human mobility in Chad.The project will seek to do so by supporting the Ministry of the Environment, Fisheries and Sustainable Development to integrate gender-sensitive MECR considerations into the new National Adaptation Plan and Long-Term Strategy (Outcome 1) by making available to government partners a comprehensive and gender-sensitive scoping study on the MECR nexus in Chad (Output 1.1) and strengthening the knowledge of key national stakeholders, media representatives, NGOs and CSOs on the MECR nexus through a series of tailored trainings (Output 1.2). Overall, this will establish an evidence base to inform future MECR gender-sensitive research practice and policy formulations, as well as promote a shared understanding on the topic among society.
