Addressing Threats to Peaceful Coexistence and Human Security through Women Migrants and Women in Migration-Affected Communities in Madagascar A recent increase in the flows of internal migration from the South and the Center-South to the surroundings of Western and Northwestern urban and peri-urban centers has been spurred by environmental and security degradation over the Greater South of the country. This challenges peaceful coexistence and human security in the fragile context of Madagascar's ongoing recovery. As a result, vulnerable segments of the population, such as women-headed households, have been forced to migrate to where they can be safe and search for livelihoods. These news trends create social conflicts and governance challenges, adding pressure on already limited and often strained social and public services. Via support to women migrants and women in migration-affected communities in Madagascar, this project seeks to reduce social tensions and conflict by the establishment of women's committees, a pilot programme to support voluntary return and reintegration, increasing women's access to diversified livelihoods, and related workshops and a national symposium.

Pilot Profiling of the Migrant Population in Cocoa Growing Regions of Cavally and Gôh Many migrant workers work on cocoa plantations in the western regions of Côte d'Ivoire, particularly in Cavally and Gôh. Some are in classified forests or national parks, sometimes villages or irregular settlements. Assessments in the areas have pointed to the problem of child labour, which vulnerable families resort to due to a lack of livelihoods. In view of the Ivorian government's support to its protection policies of these green zones and the consequent plans to evict the inhabitants of these classified forests, there is a lack of detailed information on the number of occupants of the forests, the location and size of their camps, their origin, their profiles, their intentions and needs, with particular attention to children, the access to basic social services in the areas affected by the relocations, as well as a lack of information on the availability of cultivable and accessible land around the classified forests. To fill this gap, IOM proposes to provide the Government of Côte d'Ivoire with its expertise in data collection through the application of the Displacement Tracking Matrix for a pilot profiling of the migrant population in the regions.
Multisector Humanitarian Assistance for Populations Affected by Insecurity in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique Insecurity and attacks against civilians across the Cabo Delgado province increased in late 2019 and early 2020, leading to a significant rise in displacement across the province, and consequently an increase in protection risks, shelter needs and camp coordination and management needs, including displacement tracking and profiling, in particular for the most vulnerable, among the displaced and host communities. Over 130,000 are estimated to be displaced and in desperate need of immediate  humanitarian assistance with the majority of them staying in host settlements in coastal areas and northern districts of the country, such as Mocimboa da Praia, Muidumbe, Macomia, Nangande and Mueda, although an increasing number of IDPs are arriving in Pemba city and Montupuez district in the far South. This proposed project contributes to the response through priority shelter/non-food items, protection, and camp coordination, and camp management needs of 50,200 IDPs.
UN Joint-Project to Address Cooking Fuel Needs, Environmental Degradation and Food Security for Populations Affected by the Refugee Crisis: Safe Access to Fuel and Energy (SAFE) Plus - SIDA Through this project, IOM aim is to contribute to the overall food and nutrition security, empowerment and resilience of households in Cox’s Bazar (Bangladesh). To achieve this, the project has four objectives, the first of which is to address the urgent cooking fuel needs of the Rohingya and host communities by providing Liquid Petroleum Gas. The second objective focuses on livelihoods activities for host communities—strengthening social cohesion, livelihoods and income generation for the heavily impacted host community through training and input provision; the third objective aims to reduce negative environmental impacts through land/forest rehabilitation. The fourth objective aims at increasing income generation by increasing agricultural production and marketing. To adapt to COVID-19, this project is reprogramming through cash transfers to host community households and adjustments to procurement, distribution, and planting for rice and forestry activities.

Phase II: Short and Medium-Term Support to Strengthen Counter-Trafficking Efforts in Bosnia and Herzegovina Building upon the accomplishments of phase I of the IOM project, the present phase II aims to provide continuous support in strengthening BiH’s counter trafficking (CT) system, contributing to the implementation of the new BiH CT strategy for the period 2020-2023. More specifically, INL component targets to complement the interventions of a larger USAID project, while further strengthening of law enforcement sector through capacitating the carriers of CT efforts at local levels i.e. ministries of interiors across all levels of authority while also supporting the Task Force for CT in further capacity building of the specialized investigators and prosecutors as well as strengthening the judicial response to this phenomenon.
Asia Regional Migration Program The Asia Regional Migration Program aligns with each of PRM’s three core pillars: migration management, partnerships, and crisis response. Building on the success of interventions in previous phases, the program will center on capacity building of government agencies and key national stakeholders to support them in identifying and responding to the individual needs of migrants in vulnerable situations, whilst maintaining a focus on strengthening governmental structures, policies, processes, and approaches, to enable targeted countries to increasingly ensure sustainable and humane migration management independently. The program will maintain a core focus on the priority countries of Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam, with modest national-level programming maintained in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan to support collection, analysis and dissemination of migration data. Capacity building interventions will also be piloted in Indonesia and Bangladesh (at the national level and in Cox’s Bazar), with a view to potentially scaling up programming in these countries in future years.
Providing Refugee Resettlement Assistance to the Government of Belgium in 2021 Through this project, IOM aims to provide comprehensive resettlement support to those refugees identified by the Government of Belgium for resettlement to the country.

Strengthening of Comprehensive and Multisectoral Risk Management to Reduce Livelihoods Vulnerability of Communities Exposed to Multiple Natural and Man-Made Threats and Hidden Risks, Correlating Peri-Urban and Rural Areas in Bolivia Through this project, IOM in Bolivia contributes through the generation of evidence in two prioritized municipalities in the Chiquitanía region of Bolivia. In coordination with FAO, the Vice-Ministry of Civil Defense and authorities, a study is being developed which identifies the needs of the displaced and migrant population; explores the effect of migration from other regions in the prioritized municipalities; identifies the potential for migration from the prioritized municipalities, given the current circumstances related to climate change and environmental damage and the socioeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; and assesses the level of integration of migration into existing emergency prevention, preparedness and response policies. The evidence generated contributes to strengthening the capacities of local actors to address migration and displacement during emergency risk management, in order to strengthen the resilience of communities.
