Promoting Climate Efficient Services in Ukraine Ukraine's transition to low carbon emission services and energy efficient infrastructures has been severely impacted by the 2022 full-scale invasion by Russia and continuing war. Before the war, 10 million people across the country lacked access to safely managed water services, with approximately 20 million people unable to access centralized wastewater collection and treatment services. Widespread shelling through late 2022 has dramatically worsened access to vital utility services dependent on electricity. Rising energy costs have highlighted the importance of modernizing Ukraine's infrastructure and accomplishing with carbon dioxide emission reduction goals. 
 
With this contribution from the Government of France, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is responding to these issues through the restoration of water, sanitation and hygiene systems damaged by the war, by providing necessary repairs, replacements, and consumables and ultimately support safe and adequate access to water, sanitation, and heating services for conflict-affected populations. IOM is also improving access to renewable energy sources and climate efficient services through the upgrade of critical infrastructure. Additionally, the contribution is supporting research and data collection related to priority needs and population distribution across Ukraine to support evidence-based programming.
Strengthening Border Control Through Information Sharing The Project will support enhanced border capacities of the Republic of Kazakhstan to counter transnational organized crime including the smuggling of migrants, trafficking in persons and irregular migration through greater detection of fraudulent travel documents and identities as well as creating a network of information sharing, understanding emerging trends to enhance operational decisions and policy making.

Mauritania: Fostering the Inclusion of Migrants in the Social Protection System Despite the efforts of the Government of Mauritania and its partners to develop the country’s social protection system over the years, social protection coverage in Mauritania remains insufficient to adequately reach the population. Migrants in Mauritania are not specifically or formally targeted by Mauritanian authorities due to capacity constraints and lack of clarity on the legal bases for their inclusion. The lack of specific mechanisms to target and inform migrants about these initiatives adds to existing barriers experienced by migrants in accessing relevant information on their rights and available services. Ensuring social protection for migrants is critical for individuals, communities and states to maximize the benefits of human mobility and reduce potential financial and social costs resulting from exclusion.In light of the above, the objective of this project is to contribute to the inclusion of migrants in the social protection system of Mauritania.Firstly, the project will support Mauritanian authorities to build an evidence-based and migrant-inclusive social protection system (Outcome 1) by making available a comprehensive and gender-sensitive mapping of migrants' social protection needs, existing social programmes and policy frameworks, and best practices (Output 1.1) and by developing a technical roadmap for the inclusion of migrants in the social protection system in Mauritania, with attention to gender and vulnerable groups, such as persons with disabilities and unaccompanied minors (Output 1.2). Next, the project will allow Mauritanian authorities and their civil society partners to more effectively reach migrants and facilitate their access to social protection services (Outcome 2) by training and providing technical assistance to Mauritanian authorities to include migrants in social protection programmes and services in a gender-sensitive way on the basis of the aforementioned roadmap (Output 2.1) and equipping civil society organizations identified by IOM and Mauritanian authorities in the roadmap to outreach, raise awareness and refer migrants towards social protection programmes and services in a gender-sensitive manner (Output 2.2).
Supporting Unaccompanied Migrant Children at the Greek Borders through Protection Assistance (MERIMNA II - Complementary Support) The objective of this project is to ensure the continuous operation of Safe Areas in the Greek islands, providing unnacompanied migrant children (UMC) with safe shelter and child-appropriate support.

The project builds on the success of Migrants as Messenger Phase 1 (November 2017-March 2019). The project uses innovative communication tools and peer-to-peer messaging to raise awareness about the risks associated with irregular migration and promotes safe and orderly migration. A total of four impact evaluations will be conducted during project implementation to measure the impact, while continuous monitoring and evaluation will feed into activity design.
Voluntary Contribution to Support IOM's Humanitarian Activities Supporting Internally Displaced Persons Living in Informal Sites The humanitarian context in Iraq has evolved in the past years following the official end of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) crisis in December 2017. Since then, Iraq has been facing multiple overlapping crises resulting from the years of violent conflict, which have led to protracted displacement. Government dysfunction and lack of capacities to provide essential services has been compounded by recent regional tensions, economic hardship and political uncertainty, therefore heightening the country's fragility and risk of backsliding into conflict. The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated public health, socio-economic and mobility impacts have amplified these issues, often acting as a threat multiplier in Iraq's fragile context. Through this project, IOM is supporting the overall humanitarian response in Iraq. Specific interventions are based on existing and emerging gaps in IOM's humanitarian programme, and are focusing on the following sectors: Preparedness and Response in informal sites to improve access to basic services and safe, dignified living conditions, in line with humanitarian standards; Health in informal sites in informal sites to improve access to essential healthcare services; Humanitarian protection in informal sites to improve internally displaced persons (IDPs) access to strengthened protection environment.
Supporting the Government of the Republic of Moldova to Enhance Border Security and Facilitate Humane and Orderly Cross-Border Mobility According to the Moldovan Government's "Prosperous, Safe, European Moldova" activity program and the Integrated State Border Management Program for 2022-2025, the implementation of an API/PNR system is a strategic priority for the country. Recognizing this priority, this initiative aims to enhance intelligence-based passenger information systems in the Republic of Moldova, in partnership with the UN Countering Terrorist Travel Programme. The project's objective is to establish a state-of-the-art national Passenger Information Unit (PIU) that serves as a proficient multi-agency entity for gathering, analysing, and sharing passenger information among government agencies. This will enable the Moldovan authorities to conduct passenger screening and processing more efficiently while strengthening border management measures. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) will provide support to the General Inspectorate of Border Police (GIBP) and national authorities in setting up the PIU, ensuring compliance with ICAO standards and the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. Throughout the implementation, the project will primarily focus on establishing the necessary infrastructure and technology, as well as enhancing personnel capacity. Special attention will be given to addressing irregular migration, upholding migrants' rights, and raising awareness among national authorities regarding the benefits and essential steps required for the successful establishment and operation of these systems. By undertaking these activities, the project aims to create a sustainable mechanism for continuous capacity building and improved intelligence-led border management.
