Resettlement Programme with the Government of Denmark from Rwanda to Denmark under the 2021 Resettlement Quota – Phase II UNHCR estimates that over 2 million refugees globally will be in need of resettlement by 2023. In view of the limited places available for resettlement, the most vulnerable with the greatest protection risks need to be prioritized. In this overall context, in June 2021 Denmark announced that it would resettle 200 beneficiaries from Rwanda to Denmark under the 2021 resettlement quota. The 2021 quota would primarily be female-headed households and their families, but also persons at risk of persecution due to sexual orientation. 
 
In this project, IOM is contributing to providing a durable solution to approximately 40 beneficiaries of international protection in Rwanda by facilitating their resettlement to Denmark. IOM aims to achieve the project's objective by working towards the following outcomes: Beneficiaries' medical needs and public health concerns have been comprehensively addressed and can be followed up in the resettlement country; and Beneficiaries are able to travel in a safe, regular, and informed manner from their country of first asylum to their final destination in the resettlement country.
IOM - Libya Floods Response - 2023 On 10 September 2023, Storm Daniel hit northeastern Libya with heavy rains and flash floods affecting multiple cities and towns. Derna is the most affected in terms of human and structural impact. Dams have been heavily damaged, causing flooding and sweeping entire neighbourhoods into the sea. As of 14 September, over 884,000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance.With the support of Global Affairs Canada, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is providing life-saving efforts in northeastern Libya, providing relief support directly to floods-affected populations. IOM is providing direct assistance by focusing on distribution of non-food items, providing emergency shelters, refurbishment/establishment of collective centers, medical assistance, and revitalization of health facilities in both displacement sites and areas of return damaged by the floods.
Response to Humanitarian Needs - Analysis and Assessment - Joint Intersectoral Analysis Framework (JIAF) 2022-2023 Humanitarian needs have risen drastically over the last decade, but international funding for humanitarian assistance has not kept pace. The international humanitarian community has called for more informed needs-assessments in order to make efficient use of the humanitarian funding available. To respond to the advocacy of the international humanitarian sector, experienced humanitarian partners have come together to develop the Joint Intersectoral Analysis Framework (JIAF), a new approach to analyzing humanitarian needs. The JIAF is managed by IOM. The expected outcomes of this project include: 1) improved high-quality needs analysis to inform humanitarian response plans, as well as other strategic response plans; 2) strengthened humanitarian capacity to more effectively meet the needs of populations affected by crises; and 3) improved prioritization of humanitarian donor resources to reach those most in need.
Enhancing Government and Civil Society Assistance on Counter-Trafficking The project will enhance the capacity of the government and civil society to provide adequate protection and assistance, as well as prevention on human trafficking for which two results have been proposed: Outcome 1.

STFA Joint Programme for the Eastern Region of Afghanistan: Addressing Basic Human Needs through the ABADEI Strategy - Outcome 2 Livelihoods, Businesses and Local Economy Recovery The Joint Programme is centered around addressing the post 15 August 2021 worsening poverty situation and vulnerabilities. It supports community resilience and social cohesion for enabling the rehabilitation of small-scale infrastructure that are vital for basic human needs. The Area-Based Approach to Development Emergency Initiatives (ABADEI) Strategy and the Transitional Engagement Framework form the primary bases of the proposed integrated response. These support the creation of immediate sources of income through cash-for-work, cash for market, small businesses, and livelihood opportunities with particular focus on agri-business and basic regenerative agriculture infrastructure and services (critical for food security) that are under threat. It is sensitive to the chronic and newly emerging vulnerabilities of Afghan women and girls. The project will focus on supporting livelihoods, businesses, and local economy recovery. Specifically, IOM will support cash for work (CfW) and cash for market (CfM) activities (Furlough scheme); provide grants and replace assets of businesses. It is targeting the Eastern Region of Afghanistan (Kunar, Laghman, Nuristan, and Nangarhar provinces).
Consolidate Cross-Border Social Cohesion between Côte D’Ivoire and Guinea for a Better Understanding and Anticipation of Risks and the Strengthening of Trust and Collaboration between Local Actors This project aims to strengthen dialogue and social cohesion of communities living in the border area between Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire through better prevention and management of conflicts between pastoral, agro-pastoral and agricultural populations in their access to natural resources; through conflict analysis and participatory identification of possible solutions; and through the application of measures helping to build trust between the authorities and neighboring populations. Like most border areas in the Mano River Union countries, the state presence is weak on the border between Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire. Communities in these areas face security and environmental challenges, including declining rainfall, intensive exploitation of natural resources, and considerable loss of plant cover, etc. Consequently, disruptions and / or disappearances of the usual transhumance corridors are observed, thus increasing the risk of local conflicts linked to the passage of herds through agricultural land, on both sides of the border.
Strengthening the Humanitarian Response to Crisis-Affected Populations in Countries Affected by the Ukraine Crisis The humanitarian community is currently projecting around 12 million people in need of assistance within Ukraine, of which 4.3 million would be internally displaced persons (IDPs) as well as a major flow of conflict-affected persons towards neighbouring countries, requiring life-saving support. The overall unpredictability of the situation requires humanitarian actors to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable displaced and other conflict-affected communities – and particularly female-headed households, children, persons with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, as well as the elderly. Through this project, IOM aims at providing multi-sectoral assistance in those countries affected by the ongoing humanitarian situation, in line with the IOM Flash Appeal for the Ukraine Crisis, the OCHA-led Flash appeal for Ukraine and the Regional Refugee Response Plan for the Ukraine situation, published in March 2022.
Restoration of Iraq's Historic and Cultural Heritage as a Pillar for Economic Recovery As Iraq is shifting from an emergency to a post-crisis context and lack of job opportunities is widely recognized as a critical need, this project contributes to the recovery of the country by supporting small and medium enterprises with social and cultural value with access to special grants for long-term job creation. Adopting a comprehensive strategy and tailored Enterprise Development Fund culture grants, IOM in partnership with UNESCO is developing specific selection criteria to determine and provide assistance to enterprises that directly contribute to the restoration of cultural heritage, have the capacity to create or support jobs, and are scalable in the long-term. The intervention aims to target internally displaced persons, returnees and host community in the area of Ninewa and Basra governorates, with a particular focus on the old cities of Mosul and Basra.

IOM Cultural Mediation Support to the International Protection Office (IPO) Built on the initial successful results of the “Registration of the Ukrainian nationals and TCNs from Ukraine entering Ireland” Project led by IOM Ireland in support of the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the framework of the Ukrainian crisis response, started in March 2022, the project is designed to support the International Protection Office (IPO) in Dublin, part of DOJ, through the deployment of a trained pool of cultural mediators (CMs). Upon direct request to IOM, the IPO would like to explore further sustainable collaboration with IOM, regarding the facilitation and systematization of the interview phase, part of the procedure for the International Protection application.
Daryeel: Stabilisation Support to Fragile Areas of Somalia II This project contributes to stability and peace by creating conditions for restoring trust horizontally between communities, and vertically between communities and local leadership in Somalia, aiming at rebuilding the social contract between Somali citizens and state institutions and providing a bridge to longer-term development interventions. Derived from experience on the ground, IOM identifies four pathways for addressing the most urgent stabilization needs in Somalia: implementing a dynamic pre- and post-recovery stabilization toolkit; facilitating ‘government-led, community-driven’ action planning; enabling civic engagement in the absence of robust governance structures; and scaling-up grassroots inter-communal mediation efforts.
Strengthening the Capacity of the Government of Rwanda to Manage Migration Data for Labour Mobility Though the Government of Rwanda (GoR) recently adopted its Third National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (2019-2024), the lack of data management in the field of migration continues to represent a major challenge. The national capacities to collect, produce and disseminate migration data vary considerably among different institutions and are often under-resourced. There is especially a need to strengthen the collection and utilization of labour migration data to ensure that relevant frameworks and tools are updated and reflect the country’s evolving socioeconomic and policy context. Of significant concern is the country’s skills shortages and the need to keep pace with needs of the labour market. This funding will support strengthening the GoR’s capacity to manage migration data, with a view to enhancing labour mobility frameworks and tools. To achieve this, the project will establish a dedicated coordination mechanism for data migration governance (Outcome 1) and set up protocols for data sharing across various Government departments and agencies. Secondly, the project will support the utilization of migration data to address labour market skills shortages (Outcome 2). It aims to do this by updating the Occupations in Demand List, which identifies the country’s skill gaps in order to inform labour migration policies, and has not been updated since 2013. Additionally, the project will use migration data to develop a labour market testing framework in order to manage and regulate labour migration from other countries into Rwanda, in general, and to the East African Community (EAC) Partner States, in particular. Ultimately, the project aims to effectively utilize data to facilitate labour mobility in Rwanda, while also supporting sustainable data management by the GoR.
Western Balkans Joint Actions Against Smuggling of Migrants and Trafficking in Human Beings The overall objective of the intervention is to contribute to better migration management of mixed migration flows in the Western Balkans (WB) through strengthening effective counter-smuggling and counter-human trafficking practices. The increasingly complex mixed migration dynamics in the WB, coupled with the operational challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic since the beginning of 2020, have revealed important institutional needs and gaps in the field of border management, and in particular in the context of smuggling of migrants (SOM) and the trafficking in human beings (THB). This project therefore builds its interventions around three outcomes. Regional cooperation and coordination amongst key actors in countering SOM and THB in the Western Balkans is enhanced at strategic and operational/technical level. Front line actors in the WB have enhanced human and technical capacities for proactive identification, protection and assistance to victims of trafficking and smuggled migrants, as well as for enhanced criminal justice response to SOM and THB cases. Enhanced protection, direct assistance to and empowerment of vulnerable migrants and victims of trafficking following a rights-based and victim-sensitive approach.
Strengthening Resilience to Natural Disasters Risks in Burundi The general objective of the project is to contribute to strengthening the resilience of the Burundian population, thus helping to reduce chronic malnutrition in Burundi. The specific objective is to contribute to the consolidation of the disaster risk management system in Burundi. The project works in 18 provinces and 119 communes in Burundi to update risk maps and contingency plans. In doing so, target populations are better able and ready to deal with hazards and their impacts in terms of prevention, preparedness, and response. The project seeks three distinct results. Risk mapping will be made available and contributes to the review and/or development of contingency plans at different levels to take appropriate measures against natural disaster risks. Strengthening of institutional mechanisms contributes to better management and implementation of contingency plans and coordination of the actors concerned and involving communities in disaster risk reduction initiatives strengthens their resilience and their capacities for risk prevention and mitigation.
Strengthening National and Community-Based CRSV Prevention and Response Mechanisms in Ukraine through a Survivor-Centred Multi-Sectoral Approach This project has been co-designed based on identified needs and complementarity, and will be jointly implemented by UNODC, UNDP, IOM, UN Women, WHO, and UNFPA. The rights and needs of CRSV survivors will be properly addressed through improved system-wide response at the national and community level, including civil society (particularly women-led organisations and survivors networks), with strengthened awareness, knowledge, capacity and technical expertise, increased availability and accessibility of comprehensive survivor-centred multi-sectoral assistance, and by mitigating risks, improving the survivor-centred gender-sensitive justice and reparation framework along with reinforced coordination, cooperation, and coherence among key international and domestic actors. The joint project is anchored in localization efforts and will foster national ownership and leadership for a sustainable, survivor-centred response that also empowers civil society, survivor networks and women’s rights defenders.

Enhancing Programme Quality and Inclusion in Crisis Response In a world increasingly shaped by global challenges – rapid population growth and urbanization, persistent poverty and growing socioeconomic inequalities, political tensions, violence and conflict, natural disasters and climate change, gender-based violence and other forms of human rights violations – more and more people are forced to be on the move. IOM plays a unique role in responding to the needs of people exposed and vulnerable to the impact of these global challenges. Central to its response to these needs is the Organization’s migration mandate, its flexible and strong operational character, and its role as a humanitarian responder. Through this project, IOM’s Department of Operations and Emergencies (DOE) actively seeks to promote integrated programming and responses that lead to long term impacts and, as such, the department is taking active steps to integrate programming at its Headquarters and aims to increase its capacity to support field operations in doing the same. This will be backed up by a global network of Regional Thematic Specialists with a focus on emergency and postcrisis operations.
Enhancing Capacities on Labour Migration Data Collection, Analysis and Sharing to Support Labour Migration Governance in the East and Horn of Africa Region The project aims to set up mechanisms for harmonizing, consolidating and sharing of labour migration data to inform policy solutions amongst countries, to enhance cooperation and reach evidence-based and harmonized labour migration policies in the East and Horn of Africa (EHOA) in coherence with national and regional priorities for sustainable development. The selected EHOA countries (Kenya, Somalia and Uganda) are co-signatories to the Regional Ministerial Forum on Migration (RMFM) Communique and Call for Action. The project responds to the RMFM Communique signed at the regional level and its Call for Action and the interests of the co signatory EHOA countries as the data is mentioned specifically under the regional cooperation section as well as under Objectives 3 and 4. Areas of engagement will target interventions on regulation and enforcement, regional cooperation, migration governance and policy, as well as protection of migrant workers.
