Promoting Social Cohesion in Cobija, Teoponte and Cachuela Esperanza in the Plurinational State of Bolivia, in alignment with the Living Well framework Bolivia is experiencing high levels of migration and internal displacement affecting the demographic, economic, social and cultural dynamics in both origin and destination communities. The complex nature of the migration flows and the different groups involved is resulting in challenges related to the development and implementation of policies that foster the inclusion of migrants and displaced persons, promote social cohesion and facilitate their contributions to sustainable development within the “Living Well” framework. “Living Well” is a philosophy promoted by the Government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia (enshrined in the constitution) to live with equality, justice, complementarity and with a fair resource distributi¬on, while defending nature and protecting the planet. For the government, it is a priority to base its policies and programmes on the “Living Well” framework. In fact, this model is the basis of the Economic and Social Development Plan 2021 – 2025, and therefore framing the project within the “Living Well” framework is essential and will promote the sustainability of the intervention.In this context, and in close coordination with the Vice Presidency of the Plurinational State of Bolivia (through the General Directorate of Geopolitics of Living Well and Foreign Policy), this project will contribute to migrants, displaced persons and communities in Cobija, Teoponte and Cachuela Esperanza living in more inclusive multicultural territories and contributing to sustainable development, in alignment with the “Living Well” framework. To achieve this objective, roundtables and case studies will be conducted with the participation of national and local authorities and representatives from different key community groups. Furthermore, training will be provided on the existing biocultural assets, migration flows and challenges and opportunities for social cohesion. Additionally, workshops will be organised in close coordination with municipal authorities for community members, migrants and displaced persons to contribute inputs to the framework. As a result, local governments and the communities from Cobija, Teoponte and Cachuela Esperanza will be able to promote the inclusion of migrants and displaced persons in community affairs and enhance social cohesion between the various rural and urban groups, as well as indigenous peoples, in alignment with the framework of “Living Well”.

The project will be implemented within the framework of 4 thematic axes: community recognition, construction of a sense of community, conflict management, and public participation.
Argentina: Enhancing Participation of Migrant Women and Migrants with Diverse SOGIESC in Migration Governance and Related Policies Although Argentina has a broad and inclusive normative framework for migration governance, migrants' effective access to services, the labour market, education and public systems still presents major challenges that hamper the fulfilment of migrants’ economic, political and social rights. Such challenges have been exacerbated by the socioeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially among migrant women and migrants with diverse Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression, and Sex Characteristics (SOGIESC). Migrant women and migrants with diverse SOGIESC are subject to multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and often find themselves more vulnerable to poverty, informal work and other disadvantageous conditions. The project aims to involve these migrants in shaping targeted policy responses to best address such challenges. Enhancing the participation of migrant women and migrants with diverse SOGIESC in Argentina’s migration governance and related policies will be achieved through a two-pronged approach. IOM will support the Government in the implementation of Action Plans to adopt gender-responsive participatory mechanisms for migration policymaking processes. This will be done through: the development of policy guidelines for gender-responsive participatory migration policymaking that will be based on a mapping of existing mechanisms for participation (Output 1.1); trainings on gender-responsive participatory approaches to migration policymaking (Output 1.2); a communication campaign tackling discrimination of migrant women and migrants with diverse SOGIESC’s and highlighting their contributions for social change (Output 1.3). In tandem, the project will also assist migrants in engaging in policy processes by equipping them with relevant knowledge and skills. In practice, this will involve: conducting a study identifying the barriers to participation in selected jurisdictions (Output 2.1); developing orientation guides on how to access services (Output 2.2) and education pathways (output 2.3) as per migrants’ rights under national law,  and developing and implementing a capacity strengthening programme on leadership skills for engagement in migration policy processes (Output 2.4), which will include attending various kinds of policymaking forums.

Strengthening Identification and Referral of Victims of Trafficking in Thailand This project aims to build the capacity of the Thai Government and civil society counterparts to better identify victims of trafficking (VOTs) and respond to their individual needs through a coordinated identification and referral process. The project's objective will be reached by building the capacity of a technical-level multi-stakeholder steering committee to train frontline officials and civil society counterparts on effective implementation of Thailand's identification and referral procedures and ensuring that frontline officials, civil society counterparts and the general public are subsequently able to effectively refer suspected victims of trafficking for identification and assistance. This will be achieved by collaboratively developing standardized training and training of trainers curricula, as well as by strengthening standardized forms on identification and referral of VOTs. The training of key government counterparts will be followed by a roll out of the standardized capacity building curriculum by trained trainers and the implementation of a national communication campaign on identifying and referring VOT to both Thai and non-Thai audiences.

Enhancing Social and Economic Inclusion Opportunities for Displaced People Fleeing Ukraine to Hungary As the war in Ukraine entered its second year on 24 February 2023, more than four million border crossings to Hungary have been registered, both through the Ukrainian and Romanian borders. As the conflict is getting protracted and about 42% of the respondents plan to remain in Hungary (IOM DTM), transitioning from the provision of immediate life-saving assistance to comprehensive and multidimensional social inclusion measures is essential to facilitate their successful integration into the Hungarian society.  Recognizing the challenges faced by refugees and the fact that post-migration stressors can be equally or even more negatively impactful than pre-migration trauma regarding refugees’ mental health, their ability to recover from past traumas and to adjust to their new environment, the project adopts a holistic and strength-based approach. This relies on a comprehensive integration package contributing to upholding refugees’ well-being and facilitating their successful integration within the host society. Therefore, the project will facilitate the socio-economic inclusion of refugees beyond the timeline of the project while promoting solidarity and social cohesion within the host community. As a result, refugees will have improved capacity and knowledge to navigate their way through the society and establish themselves as a part of it.

A Rapid Response Fund (RRF) Program Responding to Emergency Needs of Disaster Affected Populations in South Sudan Conflicts, macroeconomic crisis, and climate shocks continue to drive severe food crisis, with famine threats likely to occur in most areas of South Sudan and is likely to continue over the years. Subnational and localized violence could intensify with the ongoing tension between cattle keepers and farmers in greater Equatoria, along with fighting between opposition and splinter groups, as well as non?signatory groups to the 2018 peace deal. Climate and violence shocks are likely to result in new displacements in addition to the currently displaced persons, further disrupting livelihoods and basic services. Additionally, economic crisis, shown by the currency depreciation, food inflation and income reduction affect the purchasing power of households with 2.8 million people in emergency and 87,000 people in catastrophe. IOM aims to facilitate programming intervening to the acute emergencies triggered by both man-made and natural hazards affecting the most vulnerable population across South Sudan under the states of the Greater Equatorias (Western, Central and Eastern), Greater Upper Nile (Unity, Upper Nile and Jonglei) Greater Bahr el Ghazel (Lakes, Warrap, Western and Northern Bahr el Ghazel) and Abyei Administration Area.
Addressing Trafficking in Persons and Related Risks in the Ukraine Emergency Response The project will leverage the Organization's in-country pre-war work as well as global-level experience for countering trafficking in persons (TiP) in crisis. IOM will be assisting primarily TiP survivors as well as individuals who are crisis-affected and at high risk of human trafficking. Other activities will be focused on the typical counter-trafficking (CT) pillars but will be adapted to the new reality. The inevitable part of the project activities will be focused on integration of CT indicators into the humanitarian response of a variety of stakeholders operating in Ukraine. Both the capacity building activities as well as data collection, will be based on IOM's expertise within the global project "Addressing Human Trafficking in Emergency Contexts", and will adapt the good practices to be relevant to the current Ukrainian contexts.
Migrant Assistance and Protection in the Pacific A request was made to improve the understanding of migration dynamics with a focus on migrant protection to support legislative and policy review, which will be a catalyst for future programming. The objective of the project is to contribute to strengthening Pacific Islands Countries' capacities to protect migrants and prevent human trafficking and smuggling. This project aims to ensure the target governments cooperate effectively to assess the needs of vulnerable migrants, through country needs assessments and overarching regional needs assessments. These will identify thematic areas within the broader realm of migrant protection where there are knowledge gaps. The project will then use the findings to support improvements in national legal and regulatory frameworks, by providing ongoing and direct technical assistance that will help governments integrate international standards and best practices into migration legislation and policies, and by identifying and validating specific targeted legislation and policy amendments. The project will also focus on ensuring governments are able to effectively apply evidence-based migration management policies and practices, through an organizational capacity assessment and through capacity-building to develop and implement a bespoke pacific migrant protection manual and training curriculum.
