Strengthening Government of Pakistan's Capacities for Countering Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants The project will be delivered under the overall objective to support efforts of the Government of Pakistan, specifically the Federal Investigation Agency to combat smuggling of migrants (SOM) and trafficking in persons (TiP), by adopting a rights-based and gender-sensitive approach. IOM will support the Government of Pakistan to address the critical gaps highlighted above through four interlinked and mutually reinforcing outcomes relating to prevention and protection, which are critical for coordinated response to combat TiP and SOM. Outcomes relating to prevention will entail strengthening capacities of immigration and border officials to prevent and investigate irregular migration and raising awareness on regular migration pathways and risks of irregular migration amongst local communities. Outcomes relating to protection will include capacity building of the service delivery sector and provision of direct assistance to victims of human trafficking and vulnerable smuggled migrants. The proposed project activities are also closely aligned with the priorities of the FIA, as highlighted through the strategic objectives of their National Action Plan (2021-2025).
The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme Pathway 2 (ACRS P2) The project aims to support the resettlement of approximately 2,400 Afghan refugees specifically from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (1,100), Islamic Republic of Iran (1,100), and an unallocated caseload of approximately 200 refugees from unspecified locations. IOM will facilitate video/telephone interviewing, provision of pre-migration health activities, including the early identification of children’s Special Educational Needs (SEN) and the application of the  Global Mental Health Assessment tool (GMHAT) for adult beneficiaries in agreed Missions, pre-embarkation checks, 3-day pre-departure orientation (UKCO) sessions, visa/travel document processing, movement management and operational support to the final destination, including operational and/or medical escorts and the delivery of information sessions to Local Authorities, community sponsors, and other relevant resettlement stakeholders.
Addressing Displacement Crises Focusing On Advancing the Secretary General’s Action Agenda on Internal Displacement The world is experiencing a growing frequency, protractedness and scale of humanitarian crises, increasingly shaped by global challenges, such as the impact of climate change, heightened protection risks, socioeconomic inequalities, and the spread of epidemics. Today, IOM supports more emergencies than at any other time in its history, assisting over 31.1 million crisis-affected people (in 2022). As humanitarian needs grow substantially year on year, so is the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs). By the end of 2022, more than 70 million people were internally displaced worldwide, with women, children and marginalized groups often experiencing the greatest impacts (Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, 2023).With the overall objective to contribute to addressing displacement crises while advancing its commitment to the Secretary General’s Action Agenda on Internal Displacement, through this project, IOM aims to achieve the following outcomes: 1) Solutions initiatives are coordinated and informed by evidence; and 2) IOM’s response to displacement crisis is more timely, effective, predictable and principled.
Information and Awareness Raising Campaign in Hungary against Trafficking in Human Beings Awareness raising in Hungary on the risks of human trafficking.
Supporting the Government and Civil Society of Ukraine to Develop a Consultative Platform for Victims of Human Rights Violations and Increase the Capacity of National and International Actors to Develop and Implement Reparations Mechanisms In line with the IASC Durable Solutions Framework, sustainable return and durable solutions for displaced populations can only be achieved if, among other criteria, remedies are provided to victims of human rights violations (including housing, land and property and civil documentation restitution). IOM is harnessing the momentum created by national and international recovery efforts to support the creation of conditions for return and reintegration of displaced populations, address the consequences of war, and promote an integrated approach to reconstruction, development, peace, and justice initiatives. The project thus focuses on building the capacity of civil society and supporting the Government of Ukraine and civil society organizations to engage the victims of atrocities and war-affected population in an adequate and appropriate consultative process that assesses their needs, expectations, and priorities in terms of the outcome and the process of delivering reparations.
Addressing Urgent Needs in Iraq: Screening, Rehabilitation, and Reintegration of Adults, Management of High-Risk Prisoners, and Protection Needs of Children Returned from Syria (the “Activities”) The project will support the Government of Iraq (GoI) in managing individuals returned from Syria and ensure effective ownership of the process until the all-of-UN program of support is developed under the Global Framework and a dedicated multi-partner trust fund mechanism is established. Given the urgent need to support security and accountability and address the protection needs of children, this project will support the GoI to (i) Manage suspected foreign terrorist fighters (FTF) and violent extremist prisoners (VEP) (ii) Address the urgent rehabilitation and reintegration needs of current and future returnees as well as VEPs; (iii) Address the urgent protection needs of current and future returnee children, as well as foreign children still detained in Iraq for alleged affiliation with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and (iv) Ensure effective ownership of the return, rehabilitation, and reintegration process.
Development and Adoption of Community and Household Climate Change Adaptation Plans to Address the Environmental Drivers of Migration in Costa Rica In the last decade, Costa Rica has experienced significant climate variability. Without swift and sustainable interventions, it is foreseen that climate change will threaten the livelihoods and well-being of communities that already experience the lowest human development indices in the country, namely Los Chiles and Puerto Jimenez. Los Chiles is largely reliant on agriculture, while Puerto Jimenez has a marine-based local economy. The climate-sensitive nature of these livelihoods, and the underlying vulnerabilities of these communities, make climate change a serious risk resulting in loss of livelihoods and related migration. As the effects of climate change intensify, the Government of Costa Rica has recognised adaptation as an essential strategy to building resilience. Therefore, this project aims to contribute to strengthening the capacities of local governments and communities to address the drivers of environmental migration in Costa Rica by engaging local government officials and residents in the communities of Los Chiles and Puerto Jimenez to collaboratively develop Community and Household Climate Adaptation Plans.Specifically, gender-sensitive diagnostic assessments of social and climatic context of Los Chiles and Puerto Jimenez will be conducted (Output 1.1); an awareness raising campaign (including C4D and workshops) to promote dialogue about the risks of climate change and improve the understanding of the potential of adaptation to mitigate these risks will be launched (Output 1.2); Community and Household Climate Change Adaptation Plans will be developed (Output 1.3); and the adaptation strategies identified in the Community and Household Climate Change Adaptation Plans as a result of capacity development in Los Chiles and Puerto Jimenez will be piloted (Output 1.4). This four-pronged approach will lead to local governments and target communities being able to utilise the knowledge acquired and resources provided to implement the strategies from the Community and Household Climate Change Adaptation Plans (Outcome 1).
IOM – Multi Country Humanitarian Assistance – CAP 2022 The ongoing conflict in Yemen has continued to exacerbate humanitarian needs. Populations throughout the country, among whom the most vulnerable internally displaced persons (IDPs), migrants, returnees and conflict affected host community members, are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. In order to ensure the most vulnerable receive assistance that meets their most pressing needs, timely, accurate and reliable data is required to inform the humanitarian response, ultimately ensuring assistance provided is effective. With the support of the Government of Canada, IOM in Yemen continues to provide humanitarian actors with critical and timely information on IDPs and returnees to support an informed humanitarian response. IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is developing a range of information products including Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT), Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR), Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS), Intention Surveys and Area Assessment (AA) under mobility tracking reports, as well as datasets and dashboards to help prioritize humanitarian interventions and transition and recovery activities in Yemen.
Provision of Critical Support to Afghan Refugees and Migrants in Iran Through this project, IOM aims to support the Government of Iran with migration management support, including through the strengthening of border management infrastructure, and training of local institutions and border officers on protection issues affecting migrants, with a particular focus on counter-trafficking and counter-smuggling. In particular, IOM will aim to support the national Government to enhance access to durable solutions for vulnerable Afghans and their families while avoiding them having to resort to trafficking and smuggling networks. This includes the preparatory actions for the implementation of Humanitarian Corridors/Evacuations for their safe and dignified movement to and admission in Italy, the implementation of pre-migration health activities, as well as pre-departure orientation for parts of the caseload where the latter support is not provided by other actors. IOM will also support initiatives that ensure the inclusion of migrants and refugees in recovery processes, aiming to facilitate social cohesion and community stabilization, in a protection sensitive manner.
Strengthening Peaceful Coexistence between Displaced Populations and Local Communities through Social Cohesion Initiatives in Burundi The project aims to support social cohesion and peaceful cohabitation between displaced populations and local communities by supporting community economic opportunities and environmental sustainability activities for returnees to Burundi and local communities. The project will place particular emphasis on women and young people, in order to raise the economic capacity of the target region and reduce associated tensions in communities, and will be a catalyst for the implementation of the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus (HDPN or triple nexus) to capture the links between the three elements by supporting repatriation (humanitarian), sustainable reintegration and monitoring of movements (development) and social cohesion (peace). The activities will be implemented in Kirundo province (Busoni and Bugabira communes) and Muyinga province (Giteranyi and Muyinga communes) and will reach 1,790 direct beneficiaries.
Multisectoral Emergency Response to Internally Displaced Persons and Host Communities in Northern Mozambique - Phase III Northern Mozambique is facing a complex crisis marked by a dire humanitarian situation. Currently, the country has over one million internally displaced persons due to conflict. Moreover, hundreds of thousands are affected each year by climate shocks. Most recently, Tropical Cyclone Freddy caused massive flooding, which has worsened an ongoing cholera outbreak, impacting 1.4 million people across Mozambique and triggering the displacement of tens of thousands of people in affected areas. 
 
In continuation with previous years, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is engaging in a multi-sectoral response to ensure the dignified, safe and secure living conditions and basic services for vulnerable populations affected by disasters driven by climate shocks and conflict, as well as to contribute to empowered and resilient individuals and communities in Mozambique. This includes activities related to Emergency Shelter, Camp Coordination and Camp Management, Emergency Health, and Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse.
Enhancing Women’s Meaningful Involvement in DDR Policy Design and Implementation in Cameroon Based on the National DDR Gender Strategy 2021-25: Strengthening of Platforms for Women’s Associations The principal objective of the project is to empower women organizations (WO) to contribute meaningfully and sustainably to disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) processes in Cameroon. The project will work with WOs to build their capacities and provide them with the financial means to actively engage on DDR and DDR-related processes; support the National Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Committee (NDDRC)to continue their work towards mainstreaming gender equality and women empowerment, and engagement with CSOs; and create and strengthen mechanisms for collaboration between WOs and the NDDRC. WOs will be accompanied in the implementation of small-scale interventions at community-level to help limit potential negative backlash associated with WOs. taking the lead on issues traditionally perceived as more masculine. Finally, the project focuses on how, through these established practices of the previous outcomes, the NDDRC may be supported in terms of policy development and capacity building to create long term practices and frameworks for systematically engaging with women’s organizations and promoting gender equality, through the codification of good practices created during this project into a series of strategic documents, procedural manuals and processes.
Inclusive Mitigation and Preparedness in Action II (IMPACT II) Republic of the Marshall Islands The objective of the Inclusive Mitigation and Preparedness in Action II (IMPACT II) project is for government and communities to demonstrate strengthened resilience and adaptive capacity in the context of climate change and natural hazards.  The proposed project will work at the community level, as well as the state level, and will aim to enhance coordination between community, NGOs, and government partners.
Provision of Emergency Shelter Non-Food Items (NFI's) to Communities in Ethiopia In Ethiopia, the internal displacement and humanitarian needs are mainly derived by the ongoing conflicts in different regions and floods in the country. The ongoing conflicts, climate shocks and displacements continue to pose serious protection concerns for the affected population. Most of the displaced population live in collective sites or in spontaneous settlements where they have limited access to essential services, dignified and safe living conditions and lack necessary resources to sustain their families and communities. Through this project, IOM is providing lifesaving humanitarian assistance focusing on emergency shelter, household, and hygiene items targeting internally displaced persons (IDPs), vulnerable returnees and vulnerable affected households from host communities.
Emergency Response to Cyclone-Affected Populations in Vanuatu with Lifesaving Shelter and Non-food Items (ES/NFI) Vanuatu’s National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) estimates that more than 250,000 people (approximately 80 per cent of the entire population of Vanuatu) were affected by Tropical Cyclones Judy and Kevin, which made landfall between 1 -3 March 2023. IOM is working in partnership with the NDMO and partners such as Vanuatu Red Cross and CARE to deliver lifesaving assistance to people impacted by the cyclones. The Displacement and Evacuation Centre Management cluster, co -led by NDMO and IOM is utilising displacement tracking tools to help with coordination of the multi-partner relief efforts to ensure that the right assistance gets to the populations who need it most. Through this project, IOM is focusing on Shelter and Non -Food Items (S/NFIs) assistance, using cash-based or in-kind modality, as well as providing support to evacuation centres and tracking displacement and population mobility.
EU Regional Support to Protection-Sensitive Migration Management Systems in the Western Balkans - Phase III Contract 1 More effective migration management in the Western Balkans is a key priority given both the geographical location of the region vis-à-vis the EU, as well as its perspective to join the EU. In support of the Enlargement strategy and in line with the IPA III Programming Framework, this action aims to contribute to effective protection-sensitive migration management in the region aligned to EU and international standards. Ultimately, the action will contribute to the effective and rights-based management of migrants and persons in need of international protection in the Western Balkans.To respond to continued challenges faced by the region in managing mixed migratory movements, the action will support the further development and strengthening of holistic and sustainable systems and capacities across the whole migration management process including identification, registration and referral at the border, asylum systems and reception capacities, as well as both voluntary and non-voluntary returns. The action will be implemented in full respect of human rights and take into account particularly the specific situation of persons in vulnerable situations or at risk e.g. children, including unaccompanied children, pregnant women, victims of gender-based and sexual violence, victims of trafficking in human beings (THB), stateless persons.
Strengthening the Capacity of the Government of Costa Rica to Promote the Protection of Migrant Women, Adolescents and Girls (including those with diverse SOGIESC) Costa Rica is a key country of origin, destination and transit for migrants in the region. Depending on their diverse gender identities, migrants face unique challenges, vulnerabilities, needs and risks. Given the variety of protection risk factors experienced by different migrant populations in Costa Rica, especially women, adolescents and girls (including those with diverse SOGIESC), it is critical that any effort to comprehensively prevent, address and respond to gender-based violence (GBV) incorporates considerations and actively seeks to meet their needs. In October 2022, the Government of Costa Rica launched its National Strategy to Combat Sexual Harassment and Abuse against Women. Also referred to as the 'National Gender Plan', the strategy includes a communications strategy, a first response mechanism and a legal framework. In addition, Costa Rica's National Institute for Women (INAMU) is creating “Violet Point” resource centres in communities across Costa Rica to support women in crisis and help them report cases of abuse or harassment, as part of their broader efforts to increase access to their resources outside of the Greater Metropolitan Area of San Jose. Currently, this initiative does not incorporate considerations which address the needs of migrant women, including women with diverse SOGIESC. However, INAMU expressed their interest in ensuring that their services are suited to the needs of migrant populations.To meet this need, the objective of this project is to contribute to the protection of migrant women, adolescents and girls (including those with diverse SOGIESC), particularly survivors of GBV, in Costa Rica. To achieve this objective, the National Gender Plan’s reporting and referral pathways will be adapted and strengthened (Output 1.1); a communications toolkit to promote positive community discourse and to increase migrants’ awareness of reporting and assistance tools accessible to them will be developed (Output 1.2); and capacity building in the form of ToTs and workshops on the strengthened referral pathways and on the protection of migrant women, adolescents and girls (including those with diverse SOGIESC), especially those who have been survivors of GBV, will be implemented (Output 1.3). As a result of these interventions, INAMU officials are expected to further prevent and respond to GBV against migrant women, adolescents and girls (including those with diverse SOGIESC).
Moving Towards Sustainable Approaches to Prevent Violent Extremism in the Western Balkans This project's interventions support the engagement of community liaison points in Western Balkan countries, capacitating young people in each community that will ensure access and facilitate activities, as well as provide critical support to direct monitoring activities within the field. In addition, the project supports monitoring, analysis, and the measurement of impact; community initiatives and dialogues; the design and implementation of tailored psychosocial support for at-risk of recruitment to violent extremism in targeted communities; and implementation in the field through community liaison points.
Emergency Protection Assistance for Returning Undocumented Afghans and IDPs in Afghanistan Undocumented Afghan migrants are at risk of exploitation and abuse during and after return to Afghanistan, including trafficking, gender-based violence and family separation. IOM's protection programme supports at-risk undocumented returnees to return and reintegrate safely and with dignity, through the provision of tailored assistance at border provinces Herat and Nimroz and continue provision of care in provinces of return. Through this project, IOM is providing protection screening and post-arrival assistance in Herat and Nimroz, including provision of information, referrals to specialised services, and in-kind assistance such as family tracing, emergency accommodation, care assistance for vulnerable persons including persons with disabilities, care packages and air and road transport to returnees' chosen final destinations. For continuation of care, safe and dignified reintegration of vulnerable undocumented returnees are supported further through protection case management in final destinations.
Contributing to the Evidence Base and Capacity for Gender Sensitive Climate Change Adaptation Measures in Vulnerable Governorates in Jordan Jordan, one of the most water-stressed countries in the world, is facing a wide range of challenges related to the environment, climate change and migration nexus. In its most recent report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlighted adaptive measures as a key tool in reducing vulnerability to climate change and strengthening community resilience. This project aims to contribute to strengthening environment and climate change adaptation efforts in Jordan, aligned with the principle of leaving no one behind. The project is intended to provide a foundation and direction for future research and interventions addressing environment and climate change adaptation in Jordan such as through early warning systems and response.This will be achieved through one outcome, namely, (1) Central and local government entities use evidence to inform future gender-sensitive research practice and policy formulations on climate change adaptation as well as measures to strengthen community resilience, with a particular focus on vulnerable groups. This outcome will be reached through two outputs, as follows: (1.1) The Ministry of Environment has access to a comprehensive scoping study of existing research on climate change adaptation in Jordan and similar contexts, accounting for the vulnerability profiles, roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders, and (1.2) Local level policymakers, community leaders and members of vulnerable communities in the selected governorates have improved knowledge and awareness on evidence-based and gender sensitive climate adaptation measures within their respective mandates.
