Emergency Shelter for Populations Affected by the Cyclone in the Great South-East of Madagascar Madagascar is highly exposed to natural hazards such as cyclones, floods, and drought because of its location in the southwestern Indian Ocean basin. Dependence on rain-fed agriculture, poor water availability, and inadequate infrastructure, exacerbated by poverty, have reduced resilience to natural hazards. On 21 February 2023, Tropical Cyclone Freddy made its first landfall in Madagascar, which has affected 96,560 people, led to significant infrastructure damage and an increase in the number of internally displaced persons.The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and its partners are responding to the most urgent humanitarian needs of those affected by Freddy in 31 municipalities. IOM is contributing to the restoration of dignified living conditions for the most vulnerable 6,714 households (30,214 people), specifically through the implementation of a “cash for shelter” programme through partners and the rehabilitation of three community halls.
Norway's contribution to the Crisis Response Plan for Somalia Since the beginning of 2022, Somalia has been struck by an interlinked cluster of crises and conflict. While still recovering by one of the most severe droughts in the last decades that has driven mass displacement, widespread death of livestock and a devastating food and water crisis, the country is currently being impacted with heavy rains brought by El Niño weather phenomena, which is causing extreme flooding, leading to destruction of infrastructure, crops, and human losses.

Addressing Converging Crises and Unprecedented Increase in Needs of IDPs, Returnees and Their Families in Northern Central America (NCA) In Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, thousands of internally displaced persons continue to live in collective centres, shelters, informal settlements and some more live in the open. These families face inherent risks that make them extremely vulnerable. Not having access to decent housing solutions, many families have returned to their old, damaged homes, among other reasons, due to the existing risks of living in these temporary sites and having to protect their assets, which are in danger due to lack of surveillance by themselves and the authorities. Faced with this situation, this project provides for various preventive actions to prepare for an emergency due to a natural or anthropic disaster, including through strengthening the collective centres, shelters or similar sites identified in each of the three countries mentioned, their use being the last option for displaced people. Additionally, adequate protection mechanisms are being developed for women, adolescents and girls, and other vulnerable groups.
Shelter Projects: Promoting Better Shelter and Settlements Practices Shelter Projects is an interagency process to develop learning and understanding around good shelter programming. It centres around a collection of global case studies developed through an interagency consultative process. Within the humanitarian sector there is the risk that we fail to learn enough from past responses, both in terms of learning what has worked well and what has not worked well. To help to address this challenge, Shelter Projects aims to support learning from past responses in order to inform current and future practice. As such, Shelter Projects includes case studies of a wide range of different approaches to shelter and settlements assistance. Case studies highlight both good practices and challenges encountered and reflect on what could have been done differently.
Strengthening Security and Social Cohesion in Conflict Hotspots along Migratory Routes in Blue Nile The overall aim of the project is to improve social cohesion and stability in hotspots along migratory routes in the Blue Nile region.

Promoting Durable Shelter and Livelihood Solutions for Returned Internally Displaced Persons in Adamawa State in North-East Nigeria This project seeks to provide returned internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Adamawa State, Nigeria with sustainable shelter and livelihood opportunities, whilst building capacity of government entities to lead the process in a principled manner and host communities to support the reintegration of former IDPs in an environment that promotes peaceful coexistence and reduces reliance on humanitarian assistance. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) envisages that if social cohesion and individual and community resilience is strengthened, government leadership and capacity is improved, and IDPs, together with returned IDPs and host communities, have access to integrated services and sustainable livelihoods, then communities will become more self-reliant and better able to achieve durable solutions because they will have both the capacity and opportunities to support themselves and their families.
Strengthening Labour Migration Governance in Bosnia and Herzegovina Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has the largest number of emigrants as a share of its population of all countries in Europe. Several sectors are already facing a shortage of workforce and the need to open the labour market to migration has been identified. Continued high levels of labour emigration pose a severe development challenge for the country by limiting opportunities for business growth and discouraging potential investors as they are unable to find adequate skilled workforce. To address this, the institutional system needs to be harmonised and procedures simplified to attract foreign workers to the country. While recently new policies and procedures have been in place to address this issue, important challenges remain to ensure efficient labour migration policy making and implementation.Therefore, through this proposed project, IOM aims to support the relevant authorities and stakeholders in BiH to better respond to labour needs by establishing whole of society dialogue and gender-sensitive, evidence-based approaches to migration policymaking in line with the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) objectives. IOM will support the relevant stakeholders in BiH to: (i) reach consensus and acquire gender-sensitive knowledge about labour migration and migration governance in the framework of the GCM; (ii) gather gender-sensitive evidence on policies, practices, structures, legislation and community perceptions governing labour migration in BiH; (iii) provide tailored recommendations to authorities for a gender-sensitive suitable policy response to labour market needs with the development of a Labour Mobility Scheme and its Communication Strategy; and (iv) prepare receiving communities to receive and engage with migrant workers, fostering social cohesion with migrant communities.
Assistance to Populations Affected by Floods in Bujumbura Rural and Bujumbura Mairie, Burundi Burundi is facing a crisis that combines the devastating effects of natural disasters and deteriorating socio-economic and security situation in the country.

Supporting the Protection of Internally Displaced Persons, Migrants and Host Communities Overlapping crisis and conflict in Yemen for over six years threatens to push Yemen to the brink in 2021. According to the Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) over 20.7 million people need some form of humanitarian and protection assistance. Of these some 4 million are facing protracted displacement or facing repeat and renewed displacement as hostilities continue risking loss of life, loss of basic means of survival, and exacerbation of protection risks as safety nets, while social support mechanisms are compromised. Through this project, IOM seeks to maintain and expand protection support with a focus on Marib, Aden, Sana'a, as well as southern Hudaydah and southern Taizz. Specifically, IOM intends to provide protection support in Marib, southern Taiz and southern Hodeida where internally displaced persons' needs and the potential for new and repeat displacements are high, while access to protection services is extremely limited. In addition to the widespread humanitarian needs evident across conflict-affected communities in Yemen, humanitarian needs are also prevalent among migrant communities. IOM is seeking resources to expand its migrant response programme to provide humanitarian and protection support to migrants, in the form of humanitarian assistance, screening and return support through IOM's Voluntary Humanitarian Returns programme.
