Coastal States Stability Mechanism (CSSM) The Coastal States Stability Mechanism (CSSM) contributes to government strategies by creating conditions for stronger and locally accepted state presence that is responsive to community priorities. To achieve its objective, the CSSM will work in a limited number of geographic zones selected based on government security and stabilization priorities. In each location, CSSM will work with government and community partners under three stabilization outcomes relating to (1) critical civilian security services, (2) essential social services, and (3) social and economic engagements. These outcomes are interlinked, as the first creates an enabling environment to pursue the second and third, and the three act together to counter VEO expansion. The CSSM will foster national leadership and unity of effort across civilian, security, and community actors through collaborative processes for analysis, planning, prioritization, and implementation, which will be articulated in Integrated Community Stabilization Approaches (ICSA). These are co-developed at the local level by community and government (civilian and security) stakeholders.

Implementation of National Migration Strategies related to Migrant Protection in Paraguay In the last two decades, Paraguay has experienced an increase in mixed migration flows. In 2015, the General Directorate of Migration (acronym: DGM in Spanish) developed a National Migration Policy (NMP) that includes principles which govern the protection of the human rights of migrants, in alignment with the conventions, agreements and international treaties signed and ratified by Paraguay. However, even with an updated framework to guide the actions of the DGM, the institution still faces organizational and procedural challenges in implementing the strategies which emerge from the NMP and are designed to ensure the protection of migrants.The objective of this project is to contribute to strengthening the capacities of the Government of Paraguay in providing comprehensive migrant protection, through the implementation of strategies emerging from the National Migration Policy (Outcome 1). This will be achieved through the development of an organizational manual that will introduce adjustments to the structure of the DGM at the central, regional, and border levels, in accordance with the strategies established in the National Migration Policy (Output 1.1); the provision of equipment for the DGM’s regional offices and improvements to the reception/sanitary conditions of the DGM’s central building, taking into account the needs of women, boys, and girls (Output 1.2); the development of an inter-institutional gender-sensitive protocol on the rights of migrants subject to expulsion, including the principle of non-refoulement and the best interests of boys, girls, and adolescents, with related coordination and capacity development (Output 1.3); and, the development and implementation of training plans on data collection and analysis, legislative approaches to migration, and other elements of migration management (Output 1.4).

Airbnb Assistance: Emergency Accommodation Support to Crisis-Affected Populations As per the 2023 Global Humanitarian Overview, an estimated 339 million people will require some form of humanitarian assistance and protection in 2023. Access to dignified accommodation has always been one of the pressing needs during displacement crises, including in emerging and protracted settings. In many contexts, accommodation options include collective shelters where privacy and safety, especially for women, girls, and vulnerable populations are a concern. The setting up of displacement sites poses additional protection, and environmental concerns. With the support of Airbnb.org, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is providing rental assistance to those in need through the Airbnb Inc. network of local partners (hosts) providing rental properties that meet habitability standards; rental of non-congregate housing solutions (hotels, motels, etc.); or the provision of complementary rental financial assistance. This Airbnb.org grant is being used to provide access to short-term rental accommodation support to displaced populations in ongoing crises or emerging/sudden onset crises, including but not limited to earthquake-affected populations in Türkiye.

Political conflict has continued in Central Equatoria, further devastating a region that had once served as the country’s breadbasket, encumbering the prospects for early recovery at a time when people have started to return to their places of habitual residence, leaving refugee camps in neighbouring Uganda. The project seeks to create a conducive and safe environment for civilians by engaging armed actors and supporting community policing. It enhances local capacities for the peaceful resolution of conflicts and disputes arising out of competition over land and resources between communities, while at the same time promoting early recovery and resilience in such a way that seeks to revive the region’s potential for production and development after years of warring.

Multi-Sectoral Support for Vulnerable Mobile Populations and Communities in Libya Libya continues to be a country of destination and transit for mixed flows of refugees and migrants, with some entering Libya with the intention of finding work while others seek to remain in Libya only temporarily before attempting to cross the Mediterranean to Europe. Prolonged conflict, protracted displacement and the COVID-19 pandemic have taken their toll on all aspects of life in Libya, further increasing the difficulties faced by already-vulnerable groups, Libyans and non-Libyans alike, exacerbating their suffering and limiting their access to basic needs and essential services. Migrants and vulnerable communities have low coping mechanisms and are heavily reliant on humanitarian assistance to survive and improve their living conditions. With the objective to contribute towards strengthening the resilience and reducing vulnerabilities of the affected populations in Libya, IOM, through its multi-sectoral response, aims to provide them with life-saving assistance and strengthen the capacity of national stakeholders to deliver principled programming.
