Responding to Urgent Needs of Internally Displaced People in Northern and Central Mali Mali continues to face a complex multi-faceted crisis resulting in multisectoral humanitarian needs across the country, particularly in the Northern and Central regions where most of the country’s conflict and violence hotspots are found. The humanitarian situation has deteriorated sharply since March 2022 and remains highly volatile with the continued expansion of armed conflicts that trigger large-scale displacements. The proposed project constitutes a key contribution to urgent needs arising from forced displacement in Northern and Central Mali and is composed with the global objective of reducing vulnerabilities and improving living conditions of displaced populations and host communities. The project has a three-component approach to support the Government of Mali in providing lifesaving assistance to populations in need: Firstly, the living conditions of vulnerable households among internally displaced people and host communities are improved through emergency shelter and non-food item assistance. Secondly, the project promotes community hygiene and sanitation as well as access to water among populations in need. Thirdly, capacities in site coordination, management and referral are strengthened at the regional levels to ensure timely and coordinated emergency assistance. Beneficiaries include internal displaced people, subnational camp coordination and management actors, and local host communities.
Supporting Stability in Iraq through the Yazidi Female Survivors Law Iraq has been affected by cycles of conflict and violence since 1970s, often marked by human rights violations and a lack of effective response. The genocide and crimes against humanity committed by ISIL against Yazidis and other religious minorities in Iraq (Shabaks, Turkmens and Christians) have had profound impact on these communities and on Iraq more broadly. Thousands of civilians have been killed or are still missing, while approximately 5,000 women and children have been abducted and exposed to crimes of sexual violence or forced recruitment. The Government of Iraq (GoI) passed the Yazidi Survivors Law in 2021, to address the legacy of ISIL violations against minorities in Iraq – comprehensive reparations for survivors of sexual violence and other crimes, including financial allocation and benefits for survivors. Due to lack of technical knowledge, gaps in the implementation persist and threaten effective implementation. IOM addresses this through i) supports General Directorate for Survivors Affairs (GDSA) to strengthen capacity to operationalize the Law and provide reparations

Project Multipurpose Cadastre Colombia The project will provide technical assistance to the National Land Agency to advance the Social Planning of Rural Property in a targeted municipality, within the framework of the Multipurpose Cadastre Program. To this end, the Territorial Management Units will be strengthened through: (a) the development of institutional capacities for land regularization and (b) the strengthening of the legal security of rural dwellers with respect to the land on which they live and work, including through the promotion of greater knowledge of their rights. as well as the restrictions of the territory.
Direct Humanitarian Assistance to Vulnerable Populations Affcted by Forced Displacement in Niger- PHASE VII Located in the southern band of the Sahara, Niger is categorised as one of the world’s least developed countries. In 2022, the humanitarian situation further deteriorated with the persistent activity of non-state armed groups (NSAG) in areas bordering Mali, Burkina Faso, and Nigeria. These conflicts have resulted in significant population displacements in the regions of Diffa, Maradi, Tahoua, and Tillabéri.This proposed project aims to deliver humanitarian assistance to improve the living conditions, resilience, dignity, and protection of crisis-affected populations in Diffa, Tahoua and Maradi. The proposed intervention aims at providing safe and dignified shelter and non-food item (NFI) assistance to refugees and internally displaced persons (IDP) in Diffa and Tahoua. Additionally, needs-based protection-specific kits including hygiene kits inclusive of Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) items, baby kits, and educational kits are being distributed in the Tahoua region to vulnerable women, girls and boys from host communities, IDPs and Malian potential refugees.
Strengthening National and Community Resilience to Disaster and Displacement Risks in the Republic of Fiji The Pacific region faces substantial development challenges because it is highly vulnerable to climatological, hydrological, and meteorological hazards, as well as geophysical events due to its position in the Ring of Fire. These vulnerabilities are exacerbated through the effects of climate change causing extreme weather events to occur with greater frequently and intensity. Through this project, IOM will prioritise building Fijian communities’ resilience to minimise the impact of disasters. Through this focus on resilience, IOM aims to strengthen, support, and build on the preparedness and capacity of communities and families to break recurrent cycles of displacement. By utilising a humanitarian development nexus approach, IOM will address the systemic drivers of vulnerability resulting from natural disasters by reducing the adverse impacts of cyclical stresses, and consequently promote sustainable development. While the occurrence and severity of natural disasters cannot be reduced in Fiji, mitigating vulnerability of evacuees is one of the key opportunities for decreasing disaster risk and enhancing the resilience of Fiji’s communities and systems.

IOM is responsible for any logistical support it offers to the EP EOD with regards to transport, communication, security.
Strengthening the Government of El Salvador's Capacity to Manage Information and Evidence on Human Mobility related to Disasters, Climate Change and Environmental Degradation for the Development of Public Policies El Salvador is vulnerable to disasters, climate change and environmental degradation, and this has led to a need to improve migration governance in relation to environmental factors. Environmental migration is becoming an increasingly evident reality in the region. As migration becomes a common risk prevention strategy in marginalised and vulnerable areas of Central America, it is estimated that up to 10.5 million environmental migrants will move to urban centres in the region by 2050. El Salvador could see up to 173,000 environmental migrants moving to urban areas by 2050, including San Salvador and medium-sized cities.This project aims to contribute to strengthening the governance of migration and/or internal displacement in El Salvador in the context of disasters, climate change and environmental degradation. To achieve this objective, evidence-based and reliable information on migration and/or internal displacement dynamics in El Salvador related to disasters, climate change and environmental degradation will be made available. Moreover, training related to migration governance, the relationship between human mobility and environmental factors and the main challenges that this implies for the coming years will be provided to key government actors. Furthermore, a regional workshop to exchange good practices, lessons learned and knowledge between key actors in the region will be conducted. Meetings to raise awareness about the importance of mainstreaming migration in national plans, policies, strategies and reports related to disasters, climate change and environmental degradation will also be conducted. Finally, technical support will be provided to government officials from El Salvador in their preparations for negotiations in multilateral meetings on climate change, such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The expected outcome is that the Government of El Salvador incorporates migration issues related to disasters, climate change and environmental degradation in pertinent initiatives and strategic decisions.
Technical Assistance Support to Scale Up Routine Immunisation to Internally Displaced People, Returnees and Host Communities in Hard to Reach Areas This project contributes to increased immunization coverage of children 0 to 23 months by scaling up routine immunization services to internally displaced people (IDPs), returnees, and conflict-affected host communities residing in hard-to-reach areas in Wau, Rubkona, Abyei, and Malakal counties. Conflict, insecurity, and natural disasters have displaced nearly four million people since 2013, of whom 1.6 million are IDPs.[1] The IDPs reside in congested camps and camp-like settings, mainly in rural areas. South Sudan is also home to more than 300,000 refugees and a growing number of migrants, mainly from the region.
Refugee and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Profiling Towards Sustainable Peace and Durable Solutions in Darfur This project aims to support the implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement (JPA), its provisions on internally displaced persons (IDP) and refugees, and their right of return and integration in West, North and Central Darfur, Sudan. This will be achieved through profiling, perception, and intentions studies, and the collection of disaggregated data on the needs, vulnerabilities, and capabilities of IDPs and refugees compared with those of nomads and non-displaced communities. This is notably important to inform area-based programming that is conflict-sensitive and supports social cohesion in areas of return and integration.

IOM will identify seven experts (one electoral/political expert, one legal expert, one media expert, one logistics expert and a deputy, one security expert and a deputy), who will travel to Kinshasa for approximately 15 days, to collect factual information on the election process, make necessary preliminary logistics enquiries and provide advice on how to organize the operational component of a possible EU EOM and assess the security situation in the country.IOM will have no visibility and will not be associated to the work or the reports written by the experts; IOM will provide administrative, logistics and security support to the ExM.
Comprehensive Reintegration Programme in Areas of Returns in Burundi (Phase III) In May 2020, Burundi held its first general elections since 2015. During the previous electoral cycle, political instability coupled with natural disasters forced more than 267,000 Burundians to flee the country and resulted in the internal displacement of 202,000 persons. Since the inauguration of the new government in June 2020, the country has witnessed notable improvements in terms of its security, political, and socioeconomic situation. Building on progress already achieved in the two previous projects phases, this project aims to provide reintegration assistance to approximately 54,770 people (returnees, host community members, and other types of displaced and affected peoples alike). These interventions coincide with the anticipated return of 70,000 new individuals from the United Republic of Tanzania and the Republic of Rwanda during 2022. The general objective of this project is to contribute to national efforts in strengthening the reintegration capacity for Burundian returnees and displaced populations within communities.
Provide Based Needs Protection and Medical Assistance to the Yemenis Affected Populations, Returnees, and Migrants in Yemen Yemen Due to the escalation of violent events and the constant shifts in fighting along frontlines between the conflicting parties, Yemen has plunged into one of the most severe and large-scale humanitarian crises presently experienced in the world. With over three years since the conflict escalated, Yemenis are still struggling with the deterioration of economic situation; the already precarious humanitarian situation has continued to deteriorate as a result of damage to civilian infrastructure and the disruption of what were already threadbare basic services. 
 
The proposed intervention is geared to contribute to the strengthening of capacities, awareness, and direct assistance for a greater protection and wellbeing of the most vulnerable conflict-affected populations in Yemen and to the Yemeni returnees from aboard. Through this intervention, IOM is planning to implement a series of actions aimed at reducing suffering, mortality, and morbidity among communities.
Enhancing Ethical Recruitment and Migrant Worker Protection in Food and Agricultural Supply Chains Recruitment is a vital first step in the facilitation of labor migration. When labor recruiters operate ethically, their services benefit migrants and their communities, employers in need of foreign workers and governments in both countries of origin and destination. This project seeks to promote the strategic expansion of IRIS into food and agricultural supply chains with global suppliers, consumer product manufacturers, and retailers with specific interventions in East Africa and its related migration corridors and in Central and North America.
Supporting Bali Process Member States’ Efforts to Provide Return and Reintegration Services to Stranded Migrants The new phase of the programme will continue to provide opportunities for stranded migrants in Bali Process Member States to access voluntary return and reintegration support.

Provision of Direct Protection Assistance and GBV Response Services to Affected Populations in Oromia and Somalia Regions of Ethiopia Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ethiopia predominantly live in collective sites which lack dignified and safe living conditions, insufficient access to basic services and lack of necessary resources to sustain their families and communities. There are also numerous protection concerns as a direct result of these conditions, including negative coping mechanisms in response to dire living conditions and unprincipled returns/relocations, which often disregard participation from IDPs, an important element for informed, safe and dignified returns. The overall goal of this project is to strengthen the provision of direct protection assistance, including gender-based violence (GBV) response services to IDPs and IDP returnees in Oromia (East Hararge) and Somalia regions (Fafan). The interventions will be in line with IOM’s Institutional Framework for Addressing GBV in crises and IOM’s protection policy.
Reducing Vulnerabilities of Refugees and Third-Country Nationals in the Republic of Moldova The International Organization for Migration (IOM) proposes this intervention to address the protection and social cohesion needs of Ukrainian refugees, Third-Country Nationals (TCNs), and vulnerable residents of hosting communities in the Republic of Moldova. The proposed project is aligned with the Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRRP) and IOM’s mid-term strategy for Moldova. It was developed in coordination with national and local authorities as part of the ongoing work under the National Referral Mechanism for Victims of Crime (NRMV), and will support the operationalization of IOM’s Area-Based Approach (ABA) in targeted communities. Activities underlying the Outcome 1 result statement were designed to support the realization of NRMV Specific Objectives – a set of concrete Government priorities building on almost a decade of IOM’s technical assistance. Social Cohesion activities and the resulting output underlying Outcome 2 were developed in coordination with local authorities, IOM’s in-country partners, and local civil society.
Integrated Humanitarian Multi-Sector Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Iraq The humanitarian context in Iraq entered a new stage after the official end of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) crisis in December 2017 and years of violent conflict and massive displacement of populations. The humanitarian context is expected to continue evolving in 2022-23, in line with the trends witnessed during 2021. The decision taken by the Government of Iraq to move toward the closure and reclassification as informal sites of internally displaced persons' (IDP) camps in all affected governorates except for the KRI has led to departure of many households from the camps. Through this project, IOM continues to contribute to improved and dignified living conditions of the populations affected by the crisis through the provision of life-saving assistance to address humanitarian needs in the most affected governorates of Iraq and will capacitate Government and humanitarian organizations in delivering quality and principled humanitarian assistance. IOM is providing a combination of shelter, non-food items, camp coordination and camp management, health, protection, mental health and psychosocial support activities, while maintaining and strengthening the communication with the target communities.
Palau Emergency Preparedness and Enhanced Resilience (PEPER) While the Republic of Palau's urban center and remote islands have unique challenges, the island nation is among the most vulnerable to the adverse effects of natural disasters and hazards including typhoons, floods, droughts, and tsunamis. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) activities are therefore critical to help communities and governments reduce risks, lessen the impact of disasters, and build resilience. The project contributes to the Republic of Palau's preparedness and ability to respond to hazard events by strengthening evacuation shelters, training community leaders on shelter management, testing pre-disaster government response structures in tabletop exercises, and pre-positioning relief items.
