Provision of Life-Saving Multi-Sectoral Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Other Conflict-Affected Communities in Yemen Yemen is facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Nearly two thirds of the total population (20.7 million people) requires some form of humanitarian and protection assistance, and an estimated 4 million people have been internally displaced since the onset of the conflict. Humanitarian needs are widespread in relation to shelter and non-food items, camp coordination and camp management, and water, sanitation, and hygiene sectors, and cash-based interventions are greatly needed. IOM is committed to ensuring that multi-sectoral assistance is available to the most vulnerable people in Yemen and that internally displaced persons (IDPs), host communities, and migrants are able to live with dignity and access to assistance that meets their most critical needs. IOM is contributing to the improvement of the living conditions and protection of IDPs and conflict affected communities in Yemen, particularly at a time when COVID-19 has eroded coping mechanisms, increased dependency on aid and reduced access to services. Proposed multi-sector humanitarian activities are contextualized to needs, integrating and mainstreaming COVID-19 response outcomes across all programmes.

Famili i Redi Reintegration: Supporting Families to Maintain Healthy Relationships after Labour Mobility Labour mobility has led to significant positive impacts for Ni-Vanuatu households, with participants using their earnings to meet both family and community needs – especially in times of economic hardship due to COVID-19. There is a strong need, however, to support families to address the social impacts of the long-term separation which labour mobility involves, supporting them to maintain healthy relationships and achieve their financial goals both before the labour mobility period and as they reintegrate back into their communities upon their return.  IOM is partnering with UN Women to develop and deliver family-focused reintegration workshops to returned Ni-Vanuatu labour migrants: IOM will design and implement a series of family-focused reintegration workshops in Shefa Province.  These workshops will take the form of a core 3-day workshop on the reintegration process, focusing on themes related to healthy relationships and Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG), and an optional two-day add-on session on entrepreneurship for participants who express an interest in establishing a business using their overseas work savings.  IOM will conduct stakeholder consultations with key EVAWG stakeholders in Vanuatu, as well as focus group discussions and interviews with former labour migrants and their families.

Belarus: Supporting National Capacities in Migration Health Focusing on Communicable Diseases Health of migrants has been put in the spotlight by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Belarus, the lack of reliable and gender-disaggregated data on health of migrants has prevented quality analysis to promote national policy and programming that support migrants' access to health services. The country also lacks a multisectoral platform to address migration health issues including communicable diseases. The project aims to support the Government of Belarus in aligning migration health policies and programmes with empirical data available and best international experiences, particularly focusing on the prevention of communicable diseases, including tuberculosis, hepatitis, HIV, and COVID-19, through a multisectoral and gender-sensitive approach. To contribute to the achievement of the project objective, the project will generate evidence on migrants' health needs related to communicable diseases, conduct multisectoral capacity building activities for relevant national authorities, and promote the inclusion of migrants into national vaccination plans including for COVID-19 vaccination.
Strengthening the Capacity of the Municipality of Praia to Support the Economic Recovery of Migrant Workers Affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic in Cabo Verde The municipality of Praia in Cabo Verde is the area where most migrants are concentrated, and according to the National Statistics Institute, about 55,8 per cent of migrants work in the informal economy. Within the COVID-19 pandemic context and due to the mobility restrictions, most of the migrants have seen their income decreased, which has also largely impacted on their ability to make savings, send remittances, invest, and access to education and health services, among other things.   In this context, this project aims to strengthen the capacity of the municipality of Praia to support the economic recovery of migrant workers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling them to live in the context of the pandemic and restore their self-sustaining capacity. In pursuit of this objective, IOM will first develop an assessment report, conducting an in-depth research on the impact of COVID-19 on migrant workers living in the municipality of Praia. This report will support the revision of the Praia Municipality’s existing 2019-2023 action plan to integrate immigrants. In addition, IOM will install and equip two training rooms to conduct face-to-face and online training sessions on finance education, entrepreneurship and business management for the migrant workers and support its pilot implementation, building the capacity of 100 migrant workers, selected within the framework of this project. Furthermore, IOM will support the development of a manual and train the service providers of the municipality to best support migrant workers in vulnerable situations due to the pandemic and improve their overall integration.  Lastly, IOM will support the Municipality of Praia in the launch of a pilot start-up challenge with the objective of financing the most promising business project ideas, developed by the trained migrant workers, through in-kind support.
