Lifesaving CCCM, NFI and MPC Assistance to IDPs Affected by Extreme Rainfall and Yaku Cyclone Emergency in the Coast of Peru to Restore Their Dignity and Improve Their Living Conditions Central and north coastal areas of Peru have been affected by extreme rainfall and Cyclone Yaku since March 2023. As of 18 April, the floods have directly affected about 460,000 people, most of them in Lambayeque, Piura and Lima regions. Authorities have declared a state of emergency in 1,056 districts (54 per cent of all districts in the country). Through this project, IOM is providing lifesaving assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs) affected by the extreme rainfall and Cyclone Yaku in support to the government’s relief efforts. The focus is on the most affected regions of Lambayeque, Piura, Tumbes and Lima, with three key workstreams: (1) strengthening Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) response; (2) providing shelter and non-food item (NFI) assistance; and (3) providing multi-purpose cash (MPC) assistance.
​​STFA Joint Programme for the South-Eastern Region of Afghanistan: Adressing Basic Human Needs Through the ABADEI Strategy - WINDOW 4: Social Cohesion, Human Rights, and Access to Justice 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).
Emergency Relief and Assistance to Conflict Affected Populations in Marib, Al Hudaydah, and Taizz Governorates, Yemen Through this action, IOM is providing coordination, information management and emergency relief services, including cash and voucher assistance (CVA), that supports vulnerable populations and humanitarian actors in Yemen. This project is advancing humanitarian response in Marib and the west coast region (Hudaydah and southern Taizz) where urgent interventions are required to meet the needs of acutely displaced populations. More specifically, IOM is providing shelter and non-food items, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), CVA and camp coordination and camp management support to internally displaced persons (IDPs) in 43 IOM-supported IDP sites (34 in Marib, and 9 in Al Hudaydah). WASH services will also be extended to underserved IDP sites in southern Taizz.
The Provision and Operation of the Facilitated Return Scheme Reintegration Support The Facilitated Return Scheme (FRS) is a scheme run by the Home Office to provide support to non-EEA (European Economic Area) Foreign National Offenders who voluntarily depart the UK.
Developing a Migration Policy for the Republic of Marshall Islands The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) faces unique migration challenges and opportunities due to its geography, level of economic development, growing urbanization, increasing impact of climate change and natural hazards, as well as the Compact of Free Association (COFA) with the United States of America. However, the lack of an overarching national policy on migration as a crucial component of a comprehensive framework for good migration governance undermines the potential that migration can bring to the socioeconomic development of RMI. Additionally, there is a strong need for more national policies to guide RMI actions towards climate change adaptation in light of potential displacement, planned relocation and mobility schemes. The objective of the project is therefore to contribute to improved migration governance in RMI through improved policy frameworks that enhance the benefits of migration for national development. Upon request of the RMI Government, IOM seeks to support RMI to develop a national migration policy, informed by gender considerations, in line with the country's National Strategic Plan 2020-2030. To do so, an interdepartmental working group will be established and will draft an evidence-based, gender-sensitive, policy document. This will be guided by research conducted and extensive capacity development. The availability of a policy document and an improved evidence base and analysis of migration trends will allow for targeted interventions and strengthened resource mobilization in the country.
Facilitating Regular Pathways for Regular Migration and Socioeconomic Integration in Support of Uruguayan Migration Commitments The program aims to implement Community Sponsorship in Uruguay by strengthening the knowledge and capacities of government institutions, civil society, the private sector and host communities, while working in two lines of action: Institutional strengthening to reinforce the regularization pathways; and promoting the socio-economic integration of migrants and refugees to grow in a sustainable way in the country. The programme goal is to prepare host communities for reception, which will be conducted through quality prepared programmes for refugees and receiving communities that are co-designed and implemented in collaboration with local authorities, refugees and diaspora. Such programmes allow refugees not only to demonstrate the skills and aptitudes they have, but also to contribute to the communities that have welcomed them.  In this way, IOM will link the needs of the country with the development potential of migration, involving the receiving community in the process, taking their opinion into account and empowering civil society to be a bridge on this path.
Interagency Standing Committee (IASC) Steering Committee Review of the IASC Community-Based Complaints Mechanism (CBCM) Approach The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) approach to inter-agency (IA) Community-Based Complaints mechanism (CBCM) was developed by an inter-agency Steering Group and endorsed by the IASC Principals following a 2010 IASC external review on protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA). In 2021, the IASC External Review of Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment highlighted that 10 years later there were challenges with the approach and lack of sustained resourcing at global and country level to IA-CBCMs and that adaption and updating were needed. In the recommendations of the External Review, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) was tasked to supply a proposed way forward on the inter-agency process to assess the application and effectiveness of the CBCM approach, and to support a collective process to revise the approach and guidance accordingly. Through this project, IOM is supporting resourcing required to ensure these deliverables are developed efficiently and input from the Steering Committee is maximized and consultative. In addition, consultations with field practitioners are being coordinated and conducted to ensure the tools are relevant and needs-based.
Community Violence Reduction (CVR) in Central-Southern Jonglei and the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) - Phase II Phase II of the project titled Community Violence Reduction (CVR) in central-southern Jonglei and the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) – now titled Partnership for [door|ganon|mal] – aligns the three RSRTF thematic areas: Reconciliation, Stabilization and Resilience. Building on the successes and lessons gained in Phase I, the Reconciliation pillar partners (Peace Canal, Non-violent Peace Force, UNHCR) continues to focus reconciliation and peacemaking interventions at the local level with the aim of empowering youth, women, authorities, peace structures and institutions and renewing commitments to the Pieri peace process. The Stabilisation pillar partners (UNMISS, Save the Children) continue their engagement with formal and informal justice actors in Jonglei/GPAA to foster mutual understanding and cooperation between both actors and ensure alignment with the national and international legal frameworks. The Resilience pillar partners (WFP, IOM, VSF-G) are responding to the need for livelihood and infrastructure development, primarily to support youth and women's economic empowerment and transition to sustainable livelihoods beyond conflict. IOM’s component aims at engaging youth in informal education and training, focusing on promotion of literacy and peacemaking skills, particularly for at-risk youth in cattle camps, implemented through IOM's ‘Learning Together – Growing together’ Peace and Life-skills Development program.
European Union Support to Migration Management in Serbia: Improving Reception Capacity, Protection Services and Access to Education - Phase II The project supports Serbian authorities in addressing basic needs of migrant populations residing in Serbia through the improvement of living conditions in reception and asylum centers, procurement of relevant non-food items and personal protective equipment, ensuring access to education for migrant children enrolled in the formal education system, as well ensuring access to protection services through engagement of social protection professionals present in the field, support to their better mobility between locations when necessary, coverage of utility costs of centers dedicated to accommodation of unaccompanied migrant children and purchase of relevant furniture and IT equipment needed in these centers.
Strengthening NGOs to Promote Climate Change Adaptation and Displacement Prevention Measures across Micronesia Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are on the front lines of climate change and face increasingly frequent and intense rapid and slow onset hazards. Such hazards are both direct and indirect drivers of migration across of the Pacific. The governments of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and Kiribati recognize climate change adaptation (CCA) as the key long-term solution for strengthening the resilience of their communities and economies. Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are ideally positioned to connect local knowledge with government CCA strategies. Given this, the “Strengthening NGOs to Promote Climate Change Adaptation Across and Displacement Prevention Measures in Micronesia” project proposes to strengthen climate adaptation strategies and displacement prevention measures in FSM, RMI and Kiribati by increasing the capacities of CSOs and NGOs to implement CCA-related projects and to strengthen partnerships with other partners and donors. Towards this objective, IOM will organize capacity-building workshops for CSOs and NGOs and award a Small Grants Award for eight eligible NGOs across the three countries. The grants will consist of stand-alone climate action projects that promote climate resilience to address the impacts of climate change on migration decisions for communities and individuals.  Following the successful implementation of the Awards, IOM will organize an event for the awarded CSOs/NGOs to showcase their capacity to their respective national partners, with a goal of ensuring sustainable relationships between the two.

Enhancing Recruitment, Mobility and the Participation of Women in the Health Sectors in the ADD Corridors: Identifying Good Practices Across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), health sectors depend on the skills and expertise of migrant workers, many of whom are women. This research is proposed following on from the Abu Dhabi Dialogue Research Agenda, which informed the Abu Dhabi Dialogue Action Plan and Programming Priorities 2022-2023 and more specifically Thematic Priority 3. The proposed research will focus on the gender aspects of recruitment and mobility in the health sector and will develop a methodology to identify and assess good practices in the ADD corridors. In the context of the broader care economy, this research centers on migrant women in the health sector in the ADD corridors, and focuses on defining the range of skills needed, and assessing how the availability of these skills, or lack thereof, inform recruitment in the GCC. In addition to the six countries of the GCC – namely the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman – this project will focus on the representative country of origin case studies of the Philippines and Thailand.
Farmers-Fisherfolks’ Advancement and Integration to Resilient Value Chains in BARMM (FAIR-VALUE) The proposed project will deliver a series of interventions that respond to the specific objective “to improve the local agricultural/sea-aqua product production in quality, diversity, consolidation and its response to the needs of the market” in Philippines, with a primary focus on agri-fishery communities and smallholder clusters in the island provinces of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi (BaSulTa). The Action is anchored on a partnership between IOM, FAO and ITC that maximizes the strengths of each partner, especially in terms of field presence and existing community partnerships, technical expertise and international value chain linkages respectively.
Supporting Niger National Vaccination Campaign through Capacity-Building, Logistical and Sensitization Support in the Agadez Region The intervention will contribute to tackling the risk of COVID-19 spread in Niger through targeted support to vaccinate vulnerable groups of migrants in the region of Agadez. In the framework of the upcoming vaccination campaign, which prioritizes migrants, and refugees due to the increased epidemiological risk raised by mobility, IOM Niger will support the national response by (1) Supporting the capacity of health providers and staff in the region of Agadez (2) Supporting the logistics required by vaccination delivery and implementation (3) and supporting sensitization activities in Agadez region. Operations will result in delivering stronger health response across the region, benefitting to an estimated 20,000 direct beneficiaries in Agadez and contributing to the development of logistical solutions useful to the overall COVID-19 response. Activities will positively impact a vulnerable social segment, migrants and returnees being at risk of being stigmatized as vectors of COVID19 while already often suffering traumatic or health issues.
Enhancing Greece's Reception and Identification Service (RIS) Capability and Readiness to Manage Emergencies Since the onset of large migratory flows in the broader Mediterranean area in 2015, Greece has received over 1,200,000 migrants through its land and sea borders and has evolved from a transit to a host country. The national reception system has been strengthened to meet the needs of the growing migrant population. Nonetheless, efforts have so far been directed mostly to offering humanitarian assistance, rather than investing on the preparedness of the reception system to cope with shocks and timely recover from emergencies. Through this project, IOM is providing technical support to the Greek Reception and Identification Service (RIS) to increase its capability and readiness to manage and respond to emergencies across the migrant reception and accommodation facilities in Greece. The project will, therefore, result to improving RIS’s risk assessment, crisis management and cross-sectoral coordination on emergencies while also helping to ensure an efficient use of resources, with a view to ensuring preparedness actions for the protection of migrant populations residing in the Greek reception system.

Promoting Sustainable and Socially Inclusive Labour Market Integration The 48-month project aims to increase formal employment of Syrians under Temporary Protection, Persons under International Protection and host community members and harmonization process in Türkiye. Türkiye hosts the largest refugee population in the world. According to the statistics of the Presidency of the Migration Management of the Ministry of Interior (PMM), as of August 2023, there are over 4.8 million foreign nationals living in Türkiye, approximately 3.3 million of them being Syrians registered under temporary protection, accounting for more than 4 per cent of Türkiye’s population. In addition, an estimated 337,000 international protection holders and applicants, mainly from Iraq, Afghanistan and the Islamic Republic of Iran, reside in the country. Given the considerable size of the community of people under protection as well as regular migrants, providing means for their social and economic integration is a very challenging process for both, national as well as local authorities. The proposed Action will propose a two-prong approach that will ensure that targeted populations have improved levels of employability and access to social protection services and are better integrated in their host communities. This will be done by strengthening the institutional capacities at the national as much as provincial level for delivering efficient employability and integration services for the targeted populations. In doing so, IOM will build on lessons learned from previous and ongoing projects.
Understanding migration dynamics between Uzbekistan and Sweden IOM will aim to enhance understanding of migration and mobility dynamics between Sweden and Uzbekistan through increased access to tools and methods that can address data gaps and needs. By designing tools that will enable the eventual research and building partnerships with local stakeholders, IOM will contribute to improved migration management policies and responses. In this three-month project to prepare for a comprehensive research, IOM will establish an outreach plan to ensure involvement of all relevant data actors and decision makers. In consultation with national experts and tapping into IOM’s existing expertise, IOM will develop research tools for systematic information collection on migration flows and mobility patterns between Sweden and Uzbekistan, including journey experiences, vulnerabilities (including gender-specific concerns), population movement intentions, and trends are available.
Emergency Response in Ethiopia: Addressing the Humanitarian Needs of Displaced Populations and Vulnerable Returnees in Gambella, Oromia, and Somali Regions and Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples (SNNP) Regions Natural and man-made disasters – primarily conflict, flooding, and drought – continue to affect Ethiopia on an increasing scale. These disasters are major drivers of displacement and have led the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan Mid-Year Review to estimate 14.8 million people in need of humanitarian assistance across the country. The intervention aims to mitigate the risk of humanitarian crisis posed by the large scale of internal displacement responding to urgent shelter and non-food items needs of displaced populations in Gambella, Oromia, Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples, and Somali regions.
