Multi-Purpose Cash Response for Food Insecure Households Impacted by Drought Following three consecutive poor rainy seasons in Ethiopia, with the rains of 2021 being particularly insufficient in Somali, Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region (SNNP) and Oromia regions, some 8 million people are affected and in need of assistance. The food security situation in drought affected regions is expected to deteriorate further in the coming days, and this will have adverse effects on the lives and livelihoods of many pastoralists in the affected areas. The project will address urgent gaps and needs for the food insecure drought affected vulnerable populations in three regions of Ethiopia (Oromia, SNNP, and Somali). IOM, along with implementing partners, will target these food insecure populations through unconditional, unrestricted multi-purpose cash assistance in order to address basic household needs like food, livelihoods, shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene, as well as education and health.
Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan (RMRP 2023 - 2024) for the Venezuelan situation in Colombia Despite the Colombian Government’s efforts to regularize and integrate refugees and migrants through the Temporary Protection Statute for Venezuelans (TPS), thousands of vulnerable Venezuelan migrants and refugees continue to face multiple challenges in terms of response capacity in the regularization process, access to humanitarian assistance services, protection, basic healthcare services, among others. Venezuelan refugees and migrants can now enter the country with greater ease since official border crossings were reopened in the last quarter of 2022, irregular migrants, originating from migration flows heading toward Central and North America, are expected to continue. 
 
This proposal aims to strengthen the Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan (RMRP) implementation, providing safe and dignified essential humanitarian assistance and access to basic services for Venezuelan refugees and migrants, as well as host communities.
Chad Migration Profile: Enhanced Data to Inform Decision-Making The objective of this project is to contribute to evidence-based policy-making and informed decision making by providing clear, reliable and easily accessible migration-related data since such data is currently scarce, not reliable and not readily available as it is scattered across different institutions.  The project will establish a government coordination mechanism through a technical working group to support the development of the migration profile, strengthen the capacity of the government stakeholders in data collection and develop standard operating procedures for data collection.  The project will also produce a data mapping report and develop a comprehensive migration profile. The activities through the inter-ministerial coordination, data collection, training, knowledge sharing, and the government secondment will ensure the creation of a migration profile that can be sustainably maintained and updated by the involved stakeholders beyond the project closure.
Mainstreaming Migration, Environment, and Climate Change (MECC) into National Sectoral Development Plans, Programmes, and Policies in Malawi This project aims to contribute to strengthening migration management in the context of climate change and natural hazards in Malawi in line with international migration law and standards. To contribute towards the overall objective, the project will achieve the following outcome: Sectoral actors, policy makers and key actors in Malawi utilize gender sensitive MECC evidence in local planning, programming, or decision-making to address environment/climate challenges. The project will ensure that the Government of Malawi and other relevant stakeholders have better access to i) gender-sensitive data specific to MECC and information about climate affected sectors/areas in Malawi; and ii) MECC related tools such as MECC indicators, toolkits and actions plans. It also aims to strengthen the skills and knowledge of relevant Government stakeholders on MECC topics, to better ensure that the MECC nexus is prioritized within national programmes and interventions. By ensuring that MECC nexus is prioritized within the national programmes and interventions, the project seeks to enhance evidence-based policymaking and implementation, eventually leading to improved policy coherence and the better management of migration in the context of environmental degradation and adverse effects of climate change.
Provision of Onward Transport and Cash Assistance to Returnees Affected by the Sudan Crisis The outbreak of fighting in Sudan on 15 April 2023 has severely affected the humanitarian situation in South Sudan, particularly in northern states of the country. Since the onset of the crisis, the influx of people fleeing Sudan has increased sharply at multiple border points between Sudan and South Sudan, in particular in Upper Nile, Northern and Western Bahr Ell Ghazal States. As of 12 January 2024, more than 494,000 individuals have crossed the border, the majority entering through the Wunthow border point in Upper Nile, seeking safety. With South Sudan Humanitarian Fund reserve allocation, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) will provide onward transportation assistance to 10,400 returnees to travel from Joda to Renk, Renk to Malakal and then to their final destinations. IOM monitors the flow of new arrivals at different points of entry, ensuring the generation of accurate, reliable, and timely information that is shared with humanitarian partners.

Alleviating The Impact Of The Ukraine Crisis On Yemen Through The Provision Of Provision Of Life-Saving Multi-Sectoral Assistance To Food Insecure Communities Since the escalation of conflict in March 2015, the humanitarian situation in Yemen has led to unprecedented suffering across the country.  Trends point to a deteriorating humanitarian and food security situation in Yemen, with fighting and clashes exacerbating existing vulnerabilities, stalled development gains made in the years preceding, and has driven the country to the brink of famine.  The conflict in Ukraine is contributing to even further deteriorating conditions in Yemen, and experts predict that Yemen will continue to grapple with the ripple effects of the recent hikes in the price of petroleum and diesel and project that direct and indirect ramifications of the Russia-Ukraine war on the prices of minimum food baskets would be devastating. In line with Yemen’s Humanitarian Response Plan for 2022 and IOM’s Crisis Response Plan for Yemen, IOM proposes to contribute towards alleviating the immediate suffering of food insecure populations with timely and high-impact multi-sectoral (Health, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), Protection, and multi-purpose cash) interventions, as well as complementary interventions such as assessments through IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) that are crucial for informing the integrated response.

Individual economic integration activities have been the focus of program activities and are designed to enhance the economic wellbeing of the ex-combatants, as to reduce drivers for re-mobilization.
Psycho-Emotional Care for Children and Adolescents in Situations of Mobility in Uruguay The migratory experience is often treated as a phenomenon in which children and adolescents are passive actors in migration and only accompany adults on human mobility routes. In this way, assistance programs usually focus on general difficulties manifested in the adult universe of migrants and would be “replicated” in the reality of childhood. However, during a previous collaboration experience between IOM, the organization Idas y Vuelva and UNICEF, the relevance of improving the availability and quality of psycho-emotional support with a focus on children and adolescents was made visible. This project aims to provide psycho-emotional and social support focused on migrant children and adolescents and generate knowledge that guides the best ways to contribute to healthy psycho-emotional development during the migration process.
Enhancing Disaster Prevention by Improving Irrigation and Water Resource Management at the Community Level This project has three key areas of implementation. The first area of intervention is in disaster risk mitigation (DRM) infrastructure via the construction of small-scale disaster mitigation infrastructure and water irrigation systems. The second area of intervention is in community-based DRM in which communities are trained to mitigate and prepare for the effects of natural disasters. The third area of intervention is in capacity building and technical support to the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority's (ANDMA) National Disaster Management Information System (NDMIS) by supporting a functional NDMIS system operating in all provinces adapted to its needs and capacities to result in enhanced and timely information management. This activity seeks to enable provincial and headquarters ANDMA staff to successfully use the NDMIS and obtain timely information on natural disaster affected or displaced population to better coordinate natural disaster incidents, conduct timely assessments, and provide a coordinated response.

These districts are prioritized by UNOCHA to receive humanitarian support being classified as IPC level Crisis and Emergency requiring urgent life-saving intervention.
Combatting Trafficking in Persons in Armenia: Improving Victim Identification and Referral Systems In recent years, Armenia has become an attractive destination for migrants, including migrant workers. While this has brought economic benefits to the country, including a sharp increase in the country's GDP in 2022, it has also increased the risk of trafficking in persons (TIP), exploitation, and abuse of migrants. In 2022, an electronic work permit system was introduced in the country and registered close to 11,000 applications in 2022. However, the Armenian government needs support to assess and analyze the scope of potential human trafficking among migrant workers, as well as make amendments to the National Referral System in line with updated legislation. The proposed project aims to contribute to enhancing migrant rights protection and fighting TIP in Armenia. This will be achieved through various interventions, such as identifying prevailing patterns in labour migration and migrant recruitment, developing an innovative alert system based on early warning indicators in the new Work Permit System, capacitating state and non-state actors, including civil society, to help prevent and identify TIP, and delivering targeted, gender-sensitive information to migrants, workers, employers, and local communities. The project will also revise the National Referral system and organize workshops and simulation exercises for national and local actors to ensure effective implementation. Ultimately, the project will support government efforts in digital transformation and place migration governance at the centre of reforms.

IOM – Multi Country Humanitarian Assistance – CAP 2022 More than four years after the official end of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) crisis in Iraq, which led to violent conflict and massive displacement of populations, there have been significant improvements, but the humanitarian context remains complex and fragile. The post-conflict period has seen the gradual return of over 4.96 million people to their areas of origin, but, according to IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) as of June 2022, 1.17 million persons remain displaced in camps and informal displacement sites, out-of-camp settlements and host communities and are now facing protracted displacement. Through this project, depending on needs and evolving context, IOM's interventions include but are not limited to: provision of cash and multi-purpose cash assistance, provision of emergency shelter in camp and out-of-camp settings; provision of camp coordination and camp management in formal camp and informal sites; provision of essential healthcare and support to health facilities in camps and in areas with high levels of displacement and/or returns; provision of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) assistance services in camps and out-of-camp locations (including MHPSS and Livelihoods programme); and provision of protection case management, protection mainstreaming and protection monitoring.
Provision of Shelter Services and Non-food Items to Vulnerable Ethiopian Returnee Overall, Ethiopians returnees require a range of basic and specialized forms of assistance. All returnees require immediate post-arrival assistance, including essential non-food items (NFIs) and short-term shelter in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Most returnees can travel to their home communities shortly after receiving this basic assistance, but the screening procedures of the Government of Ethiopia, IOM and other actors routinely identify migrants who need further assistance, which if not provided, would exacerbate vulnerabilities to threats or increase risks to the lives of migrants. Such cases require appropriate shelter services for extended periods of time. Furthermore, despite the recent peace treaty and cessation of hostilities, many Tigrayan returnees are unable to return to devastated communities or reunify with family. The proposed project aims to provide humanitarian assistance to vulnerable Ethiopian returnee migrants through the provision of shelter services and NFIs upon arrival back to Ethiopia, to support their return to their home communities, and to create awareness among Ethiopians in their communities of origin so that make informed migration decisions and do not pursue irregular ways to migrate.
Promoting Durable Solutions to Displacement Affected Populations In Tanganyika Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo The overarching objective of this project is to strengthen the socio-economic resilience of displacement affected communities in Tanganyika province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo  by addressing the major drivers of instability and displacement through improved local governance, community engagement, social cohesion, and economic recovery.
Integrated Multi-Sector Assistance and Improved Access to Basic Services for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Living in Protracted Displacement in Iraq With this project, IOM contributes to improved and dignified living conditions and increased access to services of populations affected by displacement through life-saving assistance to address humanitarian needs of internally displaced persons in Iraq. IOM will implement multi-sector camp coordination and camp management response in remote or underserved informal settlements hosting vulnerable IDPs in protracted displacement, unable or prevented to return in the short term.
Pre-positioning of  WASH Emergency Supplies in Middle and Lower Juba Regions of Somalia Drought conditions deteriorated the health condition of the Somali population, in a country where the health system is extremely weak. Widespread food insecurity and increased morbidity have contributed to concerning levels of acute malnutrition in 2021, with once again internally displaced persons being the most affected, while there is even a likelihood of under-reporting in hard-to-reach areas. This project is supporting timely and effective humanitarian response in Lower and Middle Juba regions through prepositioning water, sanitation and hygiene emergency supplies and equipment such as soap, jerry cans, aquatabs and pumps in key strategic locations to enhance existing response mechanism.
