Humanitarian Shelter Assistance for Vulnerable Populations Affected by Conflict in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) IOM is implementing a Shelter sector project for people affected by the conflict involving the M23 group and the Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du Congo (FARDC) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which has intensified since October 2022. According to Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) reports, the increase in violence has displaced more than 370,000 people in addition to those already affected by the crises in North Kivu. This project is part of IOM's programmatic strategy to ensure that current humanitarian emergency response activities in North Kivu are strengthened in response to the severity of the needs that require a rapid emergency response, with the aim of restoring the living conditions and dignity of those affected. Under this project, IOM is committed to ensuring an effective response and will contribute to strengthening emergency shelter assistance for internally displaced persons (IDPs) through the installation of 2,000 emergency shelters benefitting 10,000 individuals displaced by the M23 crisis.

Strengthening Border Management Capacities in Armenia, Phase II The main objective of the Project is to further strengthen the capacities of the Armenian Border Guard Troops (BGT) to tackle security and migration management challenges in line with international obligations, standards, and border management best practices. The Project will build on the results achieved in the first phase of the project funded by CSSF as well as during the interventions implemented in recent years, specifically in the alignment of the BGT training and educational system and standards with European and international best practises. The project will further strengthen the capacity of the BGT through further development of the training system for the BGT and enhancing secondary inspection.  Such intervention is particularly relevant in the current context with increased pressure on the BGT to increase number of personnel at the air and land border crossing points.
Improved Migration and Climate Change Policy Coherence in the Republic of Türkiye The Republic of Türkiye faces significant environmental challenges further exacerbated by climate change, such as droughts, increasing water scarcity, and increased frequency of extreme weather. Türkiye also faces significant migration challenges, including hosting 3.7 million Syrians under temporary protection. As policy issues, these have traditionally been dealt with separately and policy coherence is limited. As Türkiye undertakes climate change policy development to reach its goal of carbon neutrality by 2053, greater awareness and a deeper understanding of the interlinkages between climate change and human mobility are required. Over 12 months, IOM will contribute to the mainstreaming of the migration, environment, and climate change nexus into national policy planning processes in the Republic of Türkiye. The intended outcome is that relevant stakeholders will mainstream migration perspectives in climate change policy development, while also mainstreaming climate change perspectives in migration policy development. This will be achieved through a CD4MM-compliant strategic capacity development agenda, ensuring that national stakeholders in the Republic of Türkiye have an improved understanding of the nexus (Output 1.1) and have access to an improved evidence-base to support inter- and intra-governmental dialogue on the topic, with attention given to gender and status-related vulnerabilities (Output 1.2). Finally, the project will aim to provide direct support to policy development processes to ensure that technical quality in policy inputs is maintained (Output 1.3).
Interagency Standing Committee (IASC) Steering Committee Review of the IASC Community-Based Complaints Mechanism (CBCM) Approach The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) approach to inter-agency (IA) community-based complaints mechanisms (CBCM) was developed by an inter-agency Steering Group and endorsed by the IASC Principals following a 2010 IASC external review on protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA). In 2021, the IASC External Review of Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment highlighted that 10 years later there were challenges with the approach and lack of sustained resourcing at global and country level to IA-CBCMs and that adaption and updating were needed. In the recommendations of the External Review, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) was tasked to propose a way forward on the inter-agency process to assess the application and effectiveness of the CBCM approach, and to support a collective process to revise the approach and guidance accordingly. Through this project, IOM is supporting resourcing required to ensure these deliverables are developed efficiently and input from the Steering Committee is maximized and consultative. In addition, consultations with field practitioners are being coordinated and conducted to ensure the tools are relevant and needs-based.
Enhancing the Capacities of Parliamentarians to Promote Migration Governance and Improved Migration Frameworks within the Southern Africa Region (piloted in Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe) As a result of limited knowledge and capacity on migration governance, parliamentarians within the SADC region have not actively engaged on migration governance matters; this impacts on their ability to advocate for legislative amendments and ratification of protocols that would contribute to improving overall migration management within the region and in their constituencies.  It is within this scope that parliaments have requested IOM to support capacity building initiatives that would strengthen migration governance and advocacy on migration frameworks within the region. In addition, the five proposed pilot countries (Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, and Zimbabwe) in the SADC region are currently working towards improving overall migration governance through the development of national migration polices and reviewing of their migration legislation. Thus, the overall objective of this project is to equip legislators with knowledge on migration to enable them to make informed inputs into ongoing processes aimed at improving migration related legislation and policies. To achieve this, IOM will make use of the Essentials of Migration Management (EMM) learning tool, which provides an overview of the key elements of international migration management and seeks to expand the knowledge and facilitate the work of government policy makers and practitioners. The project aims to achieve the following outcome: Parliaments in five SADC Member States and the SADC Parliamentary Forum (SPF) demonstrate improved gender sensitive advocacy on migration frameworks as a result of increased understanding on migration issues.
Global Migration Data Portal – Phase V The Global Migration Data Portal is entering its fifth year. It is now an established and widely used source of migration data and analysis. While online portals and platforms proliferate, the Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC) Portal remains unique: it collates and curates migration data from 25 leading international data providers worldwide. The earlier phases of the Portal helped to establish its foundational functions, features, and content, which have continued to grow and expand. Going forward, the next phase of the Portal is implementing a series of activities aimed towards: improved operational efficiency, including through adopting new technologies; new content on emerging and niche topics, while ensuring existing content is continuously updated in a timely manner; and raised awareness on the Portal and promoting interactive engagement with data users.Under these three pillars, activities outlined in this proposal include, inter alia: incorporating technologies to the Portal that facilitate data collection and sharing (Application Programming Interface (API), web-scraping, widgets); updating existing content and adding new content (English, French, German, Spanish) and adding datasets for further analysis, comparisons and visualizations; and implementing online trainings and webinars on migration data, conducting outreach campaigns and systematizing feedback.
Mainstreaming Migration into Sustainable and Inclusive Urban Development in Antananarivo, Madagascar This project seeks to explore, at a strategic and operational level, the nexus between migration governance and sustainable urban development in the city of Antananarivo, Madagascar. IOM will support the mainstreaming of migration into sustainable and inclusive urban development planning for the city of Antananarivo, Madagascar. IOM, in close coordination with the municipal authorities and other stakeholders will develop the evidence base on the internal migration trends in relation with urbanization trends in the greater Antananarivo area.  Based on that evidence it will then create the development of a strategic vision to manage migration and its effects on urbanization and will pilot operational responses that support cohesion-building and inclusion of migrants in their host communities. At the culmination of the project, a regional conference will be organised to share the results of the pilot initiative to stimulate regional and international dialogue and the building of new partnerships and interventions in these topics.

Provision of Integrated Protection and Life-Saving Health Services to Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Yemen The humanitarian situation in Yemen has led to considerable suffering across the country. An estimated 4.3 million internally displaced persons, 300,000 migrants, refugees and asylum seekers and millions of conflict-affected host community members are caught in the midst of an active armed conflict where the most basic resources are not available to ensure safety, dignity or protection. Fighting has exacerbated high-risk coping mechanisms, stalled development gains made in the years preceding and driven the country to the brink of famine. 
 
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and its partners are providing integrated life-saving health and protection support that prioritizes the most vulnerable migrants in Yemen at disembarkation points, along transit routes and hubs, and in locations where migrants are stranded or trapped as a result of conflict. IOM is also providing the wider humanitarian community in Yemen with greater access to information and strategies on how to better support migrants in this complicated and dynamic operational context. While migrant needs will be prioritized under this action, IOM is provide vulnerable internally displaced persons, host community members, and other vulnerable populations in Yemen with critically needed protection and health support, ensuring equal access for all population groups if/when they are encountered.
Strengthening the Integration of Climate Change Adaptation Solutions in Niger The main objective of this project is to contribute to strengthening the resilience of Nigerien communities to climate change by promoting adaptation practices. It materializes at the community level the political and knowledge production approach initiated since 2020 as part of the project. Specifically targeting communities identified during the realization of the national study, this project constitutes a pilot in that it comes to strengthen the capacity for action of political decision-makers, practitioners and communities in terms of adaptation to climate change, in the localities, departure and arrival of environmental migrants in Niger.
Facilitating Access to Legal Identity for Migrants: Sharing Good Practices and Developing a Global Guidance Determining legal identity is a crucial element within the context of various migration procedures, including visa and residence permit applications, regularization measures, and other regular migration channels. For migrants, legal identity is also an important condition for access to rights and services. Especially for those without resident status in their host country, specific processes of establishing legal identity and providing proof of such are not regulated internationally. The entire human rights law framework warrants, for example, the respect of the right to privacy, not to be subjected to torture or any cruel or inhumane treatment, the prohibition of discrimination, and the right to liberty – to name just a few. There is, however, a lack of international guidance regarding practical ways to establish legal identity for migrants where proof of legal identity is lacking.  The proposed project therefore aims to conduct participatory field research in pilot countries in order to collect and promote good practices of how states determine legal identity of foreign nationals without proof of identity. Based on the participatory field research, the project will formulate an innovative gender-sensitive global guidance in the form of a compendium which would guide Member States in establishing legal identity to uphold the rights of migrants and of their children, without putting them at risk. The proposed project will also develop a comprehensive online knowledge platform focusing on legal identity and migration which would be the first of its kind and serve as a global resource and interactive platform for international dialogue for Member States in facilitating access to legal identity for migrants on their territories.
