Enabling Safe Return Through Rehabilitating Apartments Over a year into the broad military offensive against Ukraine, there are 3.6 million people still displaced. This number has declined significantly since January 2023, with many people seeking to return to their areas of habitual residence. Among Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), 74 per cent intend to return to their place of habitual residence, and five per cent intend to do so within the next two weeks. However, 17 per cent of IDPs indicate damage to their homes as a main barrier to return. They continue to live in collective centres or other temporary solutions as they lack the financial means and/or technical capacity to repair their homes and return to their communities. 
 
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is supporting the safe return of Ukrainian IDPs to Irpin, Kyivska oblast, through the rehabilitation of apartment homes and community development initiatives. These community development initiatives, based on consultations with community members, include the provision of solar street lighting and a playground. These interventions contribute towards creating conditions for the safe and dignified return of populations displaced as a result of the war.

Establishment of a Regional Migration and Health Capacity-Building Hub in Mexico This project aims to establish a Regional Capacity-Building Center on Migration and Health (RCBC-MH) to strengthen the capacities of governments authorities, decision makers and NGOs in Central and South America and the Caribbean in relation to migration and health. Key actors will be trained in the RCBC-MH and acquire practical tools with the ultimate goal of strengthening policies and programmes in their respective countries. They will have an important role, not only in filling the existing gaps that restrict migrants from accessing health services, but also advocating for migrants' rights in relation to health, which will contribute to improve migrants' access to healthcare in the region. To achieve the above-mentioned objective, three outputs are proposed. An academic working group will be established to bring together regional capacities and define the RCBC-MH training priorities. A comprehensive gender-sensitive training curriculum on migration and health will be developed. And finally, the National Institute of Public Health (INSP) will have strengthened capacities for a long-term and sustainable implementation of the migration and health training curriculum.

Promoting Safe and Regular Migration through Social Media and Digital Communication in Algeria Over the last few years, there has been an increase in the number of Algerian nationals leaving the country irregularly by sea, trying to reach Europe. IOM will implement a project to contribute to promoting safe and regular migration among Algerian nationals that are prone to migrate. To achieve this objective, IOM will make use of social media and digital communication with a Communication for Development (C4D) approach. This will start from an understanding of the context and people’s knowledge, attitudes and practices, to then tackle issues by developing empowering messaging tools, rolling out a targeted communication campaign and evaluating its results. The project will contribute to help migrants make informed choices on safe migration through a participatory process, where digital communication is used to support sustainable social and behavioral change.

Responding to Urgent Needs of Affected Communities in Northern and Central Mali Mali continues to face a complex, multi-faceted crisis that is driving multi-sectoral humanitarian needs across the country, particularly in the Northern and Central regions where most of the country's hotbeds of conflict and violence are located. Through this project, IOM aims to respond to the urgent needs resulting from population displacement in central and northern Mali by reducing vulnerabilities and improving the protection and living conditions of displaced populations and host communities. Vulnerable households among the displaced and host communities are going to have access to transitional shelters and non-food items (NFIs) assistance, while the capacity to respond, plan, and manage displacement sites are be strengthened for better responsiveness in terms of direct emergency assistance.
Research Innovation in Estimating the Prevalence of Human Trafficking in the Costa Rican Fishing Sector The New York University and John Jay College of Criminal Justice in collaboration with IOM as an implementer partner will conduct a prevalence study in the fishing industry of Costa Rica, funded by the U.S. Department of State Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (J/TiP). 
 
This joint study will investigate prevalence techniques for cases of human trafficking by comparing the robustness, cost and energy efficiency of two different data collection methods. Current methods for human trafficking prevalence research are often inadequate to understand this crime that frequently affects irregular migrants, a difficult to reach population. Determining reliable and efficient data collection strategies is critical to future investigations which will in turn support human trafficking prevention measures, victim protection and criminal prosecutions. 
 
As suggested by the J/TIP call for proposals, this study will focus on Costa Rica’s fishing sector. Fishing in Costa Rica is characterized by decentralized artisanal fisheries that are not consistently registered with the government. Given these logistical challenges to data collection, fishing communities would be a highly informative population for comparing the robustness of different methodologies; any methodology identified as cost-effective and comprehensive in this challenging population will be useful across a range of sectors.
Emergency Response to People Fleeing the Conflict in Ukraine Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February 2022, the migratory movements from Ukraine towards its neighbouring countries have been increasing daily, in addition to thousands more displaced within Ukraine.  The majority of refugees from Ukraine in Bulgaria are women and children, increasing family separation and vulnerability to violence, exploitation and abuse. Estimates of UNHCR and the Special Task Force formed by the Bulgarian government forecast between 100,000 and 500,000 refugees to enter Bulgaria from Ukraine – an unprecedented influx for the country. Though Bulgaria is currently perceived as a transit country by over 50 per cent of Ukrainians, statistical comparative data of Ukrainians fleeing the war and transiting through neighbouring countries shows that Bulgaria has one of the highest ratios of Ukrainians who stay for longer period and/or permanently in the country. Through this project, IOM is providing a multi-tiered response to the urgent needs of population displaced from Ukraine and currently residing in Bulgaria, including Ukrainian citizens enjoying the temporary protection status and third country nationals (TCNs). Mobile protection teams and rapid response unit (RRU) of IOM Bulgaria are providing protection services and direct assistance to conflict-affected population coming from Ukraine.
