Enhancing the Capacity of the Government of Mali to Monitor Migration and Ensure Security at Borders Mali has long, porous borders with limited resources to ensure border security and monitor migratory flows. As a result, transnational criminal and terrorist networks operate almost unfettered, with high levels of smuggling of migrants and trafficking in human beings. Moreover, migratory routes are constantly changing, sometime passing through remote areas where there are no border posts. To complement fixed border posts, a mobile border management solution is necessary to enhance the capacity of law enforcement authorities to monitor migration and ensure security at borders. The initiative aims to provide flexibility and reactivity by handing over a Mobile Border Post (MBP) to the Malian border police and increasing knowledge of police agents on Migration Information and Data Analysis System (MIDAS), border management, border security and crosscutting themes such as gender and human rights. By providing a mobile border management solution, and enhancing the capacity of law enforcement authorities, the project will contribute to improving the efficiency of border and migration management and Improve the security at the borders of Mali.

O-REMIT: Offer Cost-Effective Alternatives for Remittances and Opportunities for Investment of Savings Diaspora networks and organizations play a key role in the development of both their country of origin and their host country. Remittances from migrants are three times larger than Official Development Assistance (ODA). Consequently, they can be a driver of change in the standards of living in their country of origin. However, despite this strong growth, the cost of sending funds across international borders continues to be too high, averaging 6.4 percent of the amount transferred. A percentage which is still much higher than the SDG target of less than 3 percent. Taking the previous into account, this project aims to offer cost-effective alternatives for remittances and opportunities for investment of savings. The project is built on 3 streams:1. Understand the remittance flows and behaviours of diaspora in Belgium ;2. Make the remit senders in Belgium and the remit receivers in Countries of Origin (DRC, Morocco, Senegal) increasingly aware of different remit options and factors that influence remitting behaviour;3. Offer the opportunity to diaspora to use savings for SME investments within 3 targeted African economies (DRC, Morocco, Senegal).
Cash for Rent to Families Affected by Natural Disaster in Paktika and Khost The 2022 Whole of Afghanistan Assessment, findings indicated that 56 per cent of households are living in partially damaged shelters and 18 per cent are living in significantly damaged shelters. People living in poor shelter conditions urgently need support for alternative temporary shelter options before the onset of winter to reduce their exposure to health risks and other hazards. IOM continues to fill identified gaps with the provision of non-food items and emergency and transitional shelter in the affected districts. However, overall needs for rental assistance in the affected districts continue to grow in light of the impact of earthquake and recent floodings, vulnerabilities and winter approaching that confirms evident unaddressed needs of durable shelter interventions. In this project, IOM proposes the distribution of cash-for-rent to support affected families for living in a suitable shelter until they are targeted after winter period with the needed shelter repairs and upgrade.
Promoting Rights-Based Solutions for Vulnerable Migrants Through a Migrant Resource and Response Mechanism (MRRM) In East Libya Libya has traditionally been an origin, transit and destination country for migrants seeking better economic opportunities, escaping oppressive conditions in their home countries, or hoping to use the territory as a launch pad to Europe. Migration dynamics in Libya remain complex and challenging, with many migrants across the country confronting significant protection risks related to socio-economic vulnerabilities as well as their status. Vulnerable migrants in need of immediate assistance include victims of trafficking, survivors of gender-based violence and unaccompanied and separated children. Through an integrated approach, IOM designed the Migrant Resource and Response Mechanism (MRRM) which brings together in one mechanism a wide range of services and needs-based assistance to migrants  in urban areas, as well as carrying out vulnerability screening for referral to appropriate services including protection services. While the MRRM is currently operating in Tripoli, Bani Waleed, Qatroun, Sabha, Zwara and Ghat there is no such system for Ejdabya region, East of Libya, where there are acute pockets of humanitarian needs. This project aims to launch MRRM in Ejdabya. Through the MRRM base and mobile teams in Ejdabya, migrants living in urban areas will benefit from health, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), direct assistance as well as referrals to specialised protection services and other public or non-governmental service providers. With this project IOM will reach at last 4,000 beneficiaries with one or more services.

The German Federal Foreign Office Humanitarian Programme for Africa (GHPA) comprises two components to achieve two outcomes. The first is determined as a sustained response mechanism and is structured around ongoing crises and responses with predictable needs and aims at sustaining the response ongoing to provide lifesaving assistance. The second is determined as a rapid response mechanism to respond in a timely manner to sudden onsets and deteriorating circumstances that appear during the period of implementation.
The International Organization for Migration Displacement Tracking Matrix Objective analysis of primary data is key to effective advocacy and a well-informed humanitarian response. IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is feeding directly into global level analysis, including the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre’s (IDMC) annual Global Report on Internal Displacement, where IOM is the second largest provider of data on conflict situations after OCHA; and regularly informs analysis by other humanitarian and policy actors. This project aims to leverage IOM’s DTM global capacity and field implementation in 20 target countries to (1) enhance collection, analysis, management and production of data and information on internal displacement across complex contexts worldwide, which informs humanitarian response plans, as well as other strategic response plans; (2) improve ability for humanitarian partners to more effectively meet the needs of populations affected by humanitarian crises; and, (3) strengthen ability of donors to better prioritize their resources to reach those most in need.

As a result, Costa Rican coordination efforts will become a model that could be replicated throughout the region.
Multi-Sectoral Assistance for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Persons with Disabilities in North-East Nigeria The crisis in conflict-affected north-east Nigeria continues to be one of the gravest in the world today, marked by armed conflict, forced displacement and severe violations of civilians' human rights and dignity. They are the main drivers of vulnerabilities and protection concerns that the vulnerable populations face, including protracted displacement, human rights violations, Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA). Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in and outside camps have weak coping mechanisms and are heavily reliant on humanitarian assistance to survive and improve their living conditions. In an effort to alleviate the above-described challenges, IOM has been providing multi-sectoral assistance to IDPs, returnees and host communities, and an overall displacement and operating picture to tailor the humanitarian response. With the continuous inter-sectoral vulnerabilities and needs of people, IOM sees the need to continue to provide necessary assistance to the affected population. Direct assistance pertains to the following sectors of assistance (1) Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) and the implementation of Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM); (2) Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI); and (3) Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH).
Supporting the Development of the Ethiopia–Kenya Border Community of Moyale by Facilitating Small-scale Trade and Human Mobility This project supports the implementation of the “Border Trade and Mobility Facilitation Joint Action Plan for the Moyale Border Post” developed and endorsed by the Government of Kenya and the Government of Ethiopia, under the umbrella of COMESA. The project focuses on the facilitation of small-scale cross-border trade, particularly ensuring that the development and implementation of these procedures are gender mainstreamed and vulnerability-sensitive.This project assists the relevant governments in carrying out key priority activities of the Action Plan by providing participatory capacity development assistance to Government officials, small-scale traders and the Moyale community on both sides of the border.

Kenyan and Ethiopian border officials, as well as community members and small-scale traders, make trade and mobility processes more efficient at Moyale; 2. Kenyan and Ethiopian border officials demonstrate increased capacity to efficiently manage issues related to small scale trade and human mobility at Moyale; and 3. Women and other vulnerable groups at the Moyale OSBP face a reduced number of instances of harassment and corruption. Ultimately, these Outcomes will contribute to enhanced small-scale cross-border trade and mobility at the Kenya-Ethiopia border overall.
Supporting Vulnerable Refugees and Local Communities in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, through Improved Access to Health, Protection, Shelter, Site Management and Site Development, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Services For the Rohingya in Bangladesh, 2023 marks the sixth year since their mass displacement from Myanmar. While the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) and the international community have maintained the provision of immediate lifesaving assistance, the needs are immense and complex challenges continue to emerge in the response. Almost entirely dependent on humanitarian aid, the possibility of concrete and lasting solutions for the Rohingya refugees remains uncertain. Since the influx of Rohingya people from Myanmar into Bangladesh in August 2017, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has significantly scaled up its presence and operational response. Through this project, IOM continues to engage in a multi-sectoral response to support vulnerable refugees and local communities in Cox’s Bazar through improved access to Health, Protection, Shelter, Site Management and Site Development, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene services.
