Peace through Health: Peacebuilding and Violence Reduction in Communities in the Far-North, through Inclusive Health and Social Interventions The project contributes to strengthening the socio-political and institutional conditions for effective and sustainable peace in Cameroon. This is done by using health interventions as a neutral entry point to support national entities and local communities towards promoting social cohesion, dialogue on security issues, and trust between communities, and towards national authorities in the Far-North region, specifically addressing the negative impacts of armed groups in the region. Through conflict-sensitive and peace-responsive health approach (and other social interventions), the project contributes to addressing the conflict drivers that lead to exploitation of youth by armed groups designated as terrorist organisations, in the Far-North at community level, while laying the groundwork for an improved disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration process through capacity-building of relevant state security institutions.
Coastal States Stability Mechanism (CSSM) The Coastal States Stability Mechanism (CSSM) contributes to government strategies by creatin conditions for stronger and locally accepted state presence that is responsive to community priorities. To achieve its objectives, the CSSM will work in 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 civil 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, priotization, 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.

Livelihood +: Economic Intergration of Internally Displaced People and Persons affected by Conflict While the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance remains critical more than a year into the full-scale war in Ukraine, targeted action to promote economic resilience, early recovery, durable solutions are needed in tandem to support local integration and prevent communities from backsliding into humanitarian dependence. IOM therefore proposes a project that aims to contribute to the improved integration of IDPs, social cohesion and employment access in Ukraine’s Chernihiv, Kyiv and Sumy regions.
A Partnerships Platform for Settlements Outreach Globally, shelter responses are critically underfunded. For example, in 2021, the Global Shelter Cluster identified 47.8 million people in need of assistance, targeted only 60% of those people, and managed to assist only 17%. This was in large part due to lack of available funding. Furthermore, non-food items (NFI) were provided to only 32% of those people in need. Whilst globally, humanitarian needs remain under-resourced, the issues facing the shelter sector, with high per household costs, are particularly significant. Given the scale of needs, there is a clear need for increased efficiency and effectiveness in response driven by strong technical capacity in the field. To achieve this, there is a need to raise awareness and highlight the humanitarian shelter and settlements needs and identify new partners. 
 
The goal of this project is to Improve the shelter and settlements outcomes for crisis affected people by raising awareness on the needs for support, as well as improving expertise in humanitarian shelter, settlements and camp coordination and camp management (CCCM).
Operational and Logistical Support to COVID Vaccination Campaign Given its footprint in country and intrinsic knowledge of population movements and dynamics in country, as well as its experience in facilitating largescale and complex logistical operations in areas of high displacement, IOM is supporting the Government of Chad in the roll out of the national vaccination campaign specifically for mobile and displaced populations in parallel in the Moyen Chari, Logone Oriental, Logone Occidentale, Lac, Borkou, Ennedi, and Tibesti provincesSpecifically, IOM supports the Government in rolling-out the national vaccination campaign against COVID-19 for mobile and displaced communities in three consecutive phases across the seven above-mentioned provinces :1) Phase 1 – Community outreach on COVID-19 prevention and vaccination to ensure readiness and acceptance of the vaccine2) Phase 2 – Logistical support to the facilitation of the vaccination campaign3) Phase 3– Management of a feedback mechanism through a hotline, quality monitoring and referral mechanisms for any secondary effects.
Enhancing Public Health Capacity for the Safe Resumption of International Travel in Viet Nam The overall objective of the proposed project is to contribute to enhancing public health capacity at points of entry (POE) for the safe resumption of international travel in Viet Nam. First, the frontline officials at POE and health-care providers at designated facilities will be equipped with the necessary personal protective equipment and other essential supplies that are identified in the needs assessment, to safely receive international travelers coming in and departing from Viet Nam, while effectively preventing transmission of COVID-19. Secondly, to ensure that coherent guidelines are applied and followed for the reopening of the borders and resumption of international travels, consultative workshops with the key relevant authorities on public health and border control will be organized to develop a national guideline on the resumption of international travels with public health measures, and its effective nation-wide application will be facilitated through training-of-trainers and roll out trainings to frontline officials at POE. Finally, while the Prime Minister-led National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control has been quite efficient in securing and rolling out COVID-19 vaccination, in more remote border areas with illiterate and less educated populations (often ethnic minorities), gaps were observed in their understanding of vaccine’s risks and benefits, and the use of vaccine certificate. The project will organize community outreach communication events to raise their awareness on COVID-19 vaccine and to inform them about how to use vaccination certificate for domestic movements and international travels.

Supporting Safe and Decent Working Conditions on Fishing Vessels in the Pacific Working conditions on fishing vessels operating in the Pacific can be characterized by long hours, high levels of risk, poor living conditions, low pay and extended time at sea. Those employed on fishing vessels may face a range of challenges from poor working conditions to labour rights violations and human trafficking. Member States of the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) have demonstrated commitment to addressing this issue through the recent adoption of Minimum Terms and Conditions (MTCs) on labour conditions for crew however, challenges remain in the effective implementation and enforcement of these MTCs. This creates a gap in the institutional and operational frameworks that should be in place to protect the rights of those working on fishing vessels, resulting in a significant “decent work deficit” for those employed on fishing vessels. Furthermore, more information is required by key stakeholders, aspirant fishers and the general public on the scale and scope of poor working conditions, labour rights violations and human trafficking in the fishing industry. At present, prevention and protection interventions for those employed on fishing vessels - predominantly men - are often lacking or insufficient.The proposed intervention aims to address these challenges in the Federated States of Micronesia, Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu, through a focus on two outcomes: 1) Pacific Island Countries identify and address poor working conditions, labour rights violations and human trafficking in the fishing sector; and 2) Journalists, media organizations and other actors in Pacific Island Countries raise awareness on the scale and scope of poor working conditions, labour rights violations and human trafficking on fishing vessels. This is to be achieved by assessing strengths and gaps in the counter-trafficking responses of target countries, and then using the findings to support increased coordination and training of relevant actors, and secondly by training journalists, media associations and other actors who share information to report accurately and ethically on working conditions and human trafficking in the Pacific. This project provides co-financing to the New Zealand-funded project PX.0259 "Labour Standards on Fishing Vessels".
Supporting  the Establishment of a Regional Training Centre on Migration in Azerbaijan The objective of the project is to contribute to better migration management and regional cooperation in Azerbaijan, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries and beyond, through the establishment of a Regional Training Centre on Migration (RTCM) in Azerbaijan.
