Strengthening the Analytical Capacities of the UNCT to Promote the Quality Contribution of Migrants and Refugees in the Uruguayan Labor Market and in Society This project aims to contribute to improve labour integration for migrants and refugees in Uruguay, considering particularly skilled workforce and idle. Within this framework, the Office of the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Uruguay (OCR) proposes to adapt diagnostic methodologies and generate knowledge to promote the quality contribution of migrants and refugees to the labour market and Uruguayan society, by defining mechanisms to ensure that the migrant and refugee population, with specific qualifications, can integrate into public and private sector employment. To achieve this, it is proposed to carry out research that will favour the creation of knowledge about the contribution of qualified migrants to the labour market and to Uruguayan society, as well as the current gaps in the dynamics of insertion. Likewise, specific mechanisms will be defined to match the invisible labour offer with the demand required in the current production processes at a national level. In this way, it seeks to influence the mechanisms for obtaining employment for the migrant population in Uruguay, in spaces required by the public and private sectors.

Emergency Assistance- Country-Level Funding- IOM 2020 IOM is contributing to the overall objective of the WHO's COVID-19 Global Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan (SRP) to halt further transmission of COVID-19, and mitigate the impact of the outbreak, including the social impact. IOM has also launched its own COVID-19 Appeal on the 20 March to guide and coordinate IOM global response with government, partners and donors, itself a component of the UN Global Humanitarian Response Plan. Cox's Bazar District continues to host more than 855,000 Rohingya refugees in camps with a total area of approximately 24 square kilometers. The high population density, in combination with an already uncertain health profile, puts these populations at a heightened risk of community transmission and threatens to overwhelm the already overburdened local medical system and infrastructure in a very short period. In order to properly address the health and socioeconomic issues caused by COVID-19, humanitarian access to the camp is critical to the well-being of affected populations and the success of humanitarian interventions. The proposed project has two main elements; IOM's Cox's Bazar COVID-19 Response and site maintenance engineering.

Student Mentorship: Towards an Italian Network of Inclusive Universities (Phase II) IOM Coordination Office of the Mediterranean launched a pilot project to empower youth in facilitating the inclusion of students with a migratory background in three academic communities (Milan, Palermo and Rome), by implementing mentorship schemes. The latter aimed at facilitating the full participation of beneficiaries of the Italian Ministry of Interior CRUI's scholarship programme for persons entitled to international protection in the universities they enrolled to. Building on the successful completion of the pilot, IOM will aim at institutionalizing the mentorship scheme and extend it to up to ten universities across Italy, with a view to establish a network of inclusive Italian universities.  This will be achieved by promoting the recognition of student committees providing mentorship support within the university structure; providing continued support to enhance the student's committees' capacity; and monitoring the implementation of the universities' and student committees' mentorship plans.
Strengthening the Capacity of the National Coalition Against Trafficking in Persons for Early Detection and Referral of Victims of Human Trafficking in Nicaragua The project contributes toward the implementation of the “National Strategic Plan against Trafficking in Persons” and the “National Strategy for Integral Attention to Victims in Nicaragua”.

IOM X The Gambia The goal is to increase social resilience to exploitation and other risks associated to irregular migration, leading to positive attitudes and behavioral intent regarding regular migration and alternatives to irregular migration. First launched in Asia in 2014, IOM X is an awareness raising campaign that encourages safe migration and public action to stop exploitation and human trafficking. To create meaningful and sustained change in opinions, attitudes and behaviors, IOM X moves beyond classic awareness raising. Within a Communication for Development (C4D) framework, the project works directly with communities to co-develop messages and adapted communication tools.  In 2019, IOM X adapted its model to the West African context. The pilot phase of IOM X West Africa in 2019 identified a clear need for accurate information on migration and local opportunities for young people in Guinea and Nigeria, as well as a strong desire by community members to be active leaders in the design of messages and content targeted at their peers.   The idea behind IOM X The Gambia is to replicate this model while adapting it to the Gambian context.
