Emergency Humanitarian Response to the Mixed Flows Crossing the Darien Jungle Despite efforts by host countries to regularize and integrate refugees and migrants from Venezuela, more than four million people still face difficulties accessing food, shelter, health care, education and formal employment in Latin America and the Caribbean. Moreover, amidst a global and regional cost-of-living crisis, Venezuelans are at heightened risk of being victims of abuses such as trafficking in persons, forced recruitment and gender-based violence.

IOM is providing essential services and assistance to improve their living conditions and dignity, reduce migrants’ suffering and avoid loss of life. This multi-sectoral action includes Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) activities at the Temporary Migrant Reception Stations, such as regular site visits to assess and refer urgent populations’ needs to relevant services and facilitate CCCM refresher trainings for humanitarian staff and government partners; providing access to food, health, essential non-food items, and protection assistance; and improving emergency shelter conditions.

To this end, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has developed an approach , which aims to catalyze recovery in Ukraine through area-based locally driven multi-sectoral interventions. The proposed project will focus on the provision of critical services, creation of inclusive socioeconomic opportunities and empowerment of local actors to drive recovery.
Ensuring Protection and Life-Saving Assistance to Populations Affected by Gangs Violence in Haiti Violence by non-state armed actors in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan areas (PAPMA) has become a significant threat to the life and well-being of the Haitian population. It is a complex problem resulting from the confluence of several factors, including a social order that has for long been oriented towards exclusion, small elite control of the economic system, political inability to promote social cohesion, and the consequent increase of gangs’ control in the capital. Since 2018, Haiti has been suffering from a growing socio-political crisis, culminating with the killing of President Jovenel Moise in July 2021 and with the displacement of almost 20,000 people as a consequence of gang-related violence. Most of the population in the PAPMA live with a high level of vulnerability to many types of threats, including health hazards, environmental hazards, acute forms of poverty, and socio-economic exploitation. 
 
With the aim to ensure protection for displaced people and host families in PAPMA, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is engaged in a multi-sectoral response including Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Shelter, Camp Coordination and Camp Management, Displacement Tracking Matrix, Health and Psychosocial Wellbeing.

Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration Assistance to Migrants in Tunisia The current economic situation in Tunisia offers limited opportunities for the employment and local integration of migrants. Without access to assistance, including information on options available to them, vulnerable migrants are at higher risk of exploitation and abuse, including in the context of irregular onward migration. The Government of Tunisia relies on the support of IOM to respond to the needs of vulnerable migrants stranded in Tunisia, including through Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) from Tunisia to countries of origin. Responding to an increased  need for AVRR, as one of the durable solutions to migrants stranded in Tunisia, the proposed project follows a need to support Tunisian authorities and migrants stranded in Tunisia by increasing the availability of AVRR to those unable or unwilling to remain in Tunisia. The project will bring added value by increasing the provision of AVRR, in response to the current situation and needs in Tunisia. All assistance will adhere to IOM policies and guidelines, including the Policy on the full Spectrum of Return, Readmission and Reintegration launched in April 2021.
Common Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI) Pipeline for Flood Response in Northeast Nigeria Floods are among the most devastating natural hazards in the world, claiming more lives and causing more property damage than any other natural phenomenon. With the onset of the rainy season in June in Nigeria, varying degrees of damage have been reported all over the country. The devastation caused by floods have significantly disrupted economic and social systems essential for livelihoods, social cohesion and individual well-being. This is against the backdrop of an ongoing conflict, which has resulted in the loss of human life, population displacement and destruction of productive assets, economic infrastructure and social services. IOM's strong operational presence in Borno and Yobe provides a strong operational advantage to provide a common pipeline through which emergency shelter solutions and non-food items can reach the communities that are affected by floods in Northeast Nigeria. This project is addressing immediate lifesaving needs of the displaced flood-affected populations who face heightened exposure to protection risks such as gender-based violence, exploitation and abuse as a result of loss of shelter and household items.
