Multi-Sector Humanitarian Response for Conflict-Affected Persons in Northern Mozambique Since October 2017, non-state armed groups have targeted civilians in Cabo Delgado province of Mozambique using violence, killings, kidnappings, abductions, destruction, and looting of public and private property. In total, there are an estimated 1.5 million people in need, which includes 946,508 internally displaced persons. 
 
To address the effects of violence and insecurity in northern Mozambique, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is providing humanitarian aid to conflict-affected persons – especially internally displaced persons, host communities, and those left behind – while reducing and responding to vulnerabilities and threats. IOM is delivering primary healthcare services through mobile and static clinics, while ensuring community-based health services through a network of activists and community health workers. For continuous and critical information on displacement numbers and trends as well as the needs of conflict-affected persons, IOM is implementing Displacement Tracking Matrix systems to collect and analyse data. Moreover, a crisis modifier is included to respond to a potential crisis caused by natural hazards or other shocks, including epidemics and disease outbreaks.
Better Regional Migration Management II (BRMM II) The project aims to enhance labour migration governance and protection of migrant workers and their family members’ human, social and labour rights through intra and inter-regional cooperation on a whole of government and whole of society approach, to support regional integration and facilitate mobility for transformative inclusive and sustainable economic growth as well as youth and women empowerment. More specifically, the programme is expected to strengthen national and regional labour migration governance in accordance with global and regional frameworks; increase national and cross-border cooperation on labour mobility; promote ethical recruitment and protection of migrant workers’ rights; and enhance avenues for safe, regular, and humane labour migration and mobility pathways through Free Movement Protocols(FMP)/Common Market Protocols(CMP) and Bilateral Labour Migration Agreements (BLMAs). The project has a major communications and visibility component that encompasses strategies to combat xenophobia, racism and all other forms of discrimination and bigotry. It seeks to promote inclusion, tolerance, social cohesion, regional integration, gender and youth empowerment, and migrant workers’ and member of their families’ rights. The programme works at two levels: the regional and national levels.
Support for the Implementation of the Resettlement Program of Refugees in Spain During 2023 This project aims to contribute to facilitating a sustainable solution for the resettlement of up to 1200 beneficiaries in need of international protection by supporting the Government of Spain in its commitment to resettlement of the selected persons.
Supporting Protection, Transit, Voluntary and Informed Return and Reintegration of Eastern Partnership Citizens and Third Country Nationals affected by the conflict in Ukraine The current political and economic situation in Moldova is very fragile. On 24 February 2022, the Republic of Moldova declared a state of emergency for 60 days. After weeks of heightened tensions and escalating conflict in eastern Ukraine, on 24 February 2022, Russian forces launched a full-scale assault on Ukraine, with its military attacking the country simultaneously by land, air and sea from the north, east and south. As of early April, more than 4 million people have already fled from Ukraine into neighbouring countries, including more than 205,000 third country nationals (TCNs). Depending on how the Russian invasion proceeds, and especially if the city of Odessa, situated only 60 km from the Moldovan border, is attacked, an increased massive displacement of people including TCNs can be expected, towards the EU, including to and through the Republic of Moldova. This project supports the effective border and migration management in the context of conflict-induced mass displacement in Moldova (and potentially in other eligible countries in the Eastern Partnership (EaP) region), with the purpose of ensuring effective and dignified first line processing of border crossing by Ukrainian citizens and third country nationals in line with internationally accepted humanitarian border management standards.
Countering Trafficking in Persons and Ensuring Assistance to Vulnerable Groups in Ukraine (CTIP/V) The full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in 2022 has exponentially increased the population's vulnerabilities to human trafficking and gender based violence (GBV), protection risks for children, international migrants and internally-displaced persons (IDPs), which root causes and drivers were already exacerbated by the significant economic stagnation in the country derived from the COVID-19 pandemic and the protracted armed conflict in eastern Ukraine. With this project, IOM aims to contribute to reducing trafficking in persons trends in Ukraine and sustain the national counter-trafficking response. This objective will be achieved through enabling fully-functioning state-led counter-trafficking response at national and local levels; implementing awareness raising activities and promoting strategic partnerships; and ensuring access to comprehensive reintegration assistance for victims of trafficking (VoTs), victims of exploitation, GBV survivors and other vulnerable groups, including by enhancing economic opportunities.
Public Information Campaign to Deter Potential Irregular Maritime Migration from Vietnam to Australia in 2022-23 Building on the success of previous campaign phases, the campaign will be focused on deterring irregular migration from the key source and transit provinces in Viet Nam, by effectively informing the target population about safe and lawful migration, while also delivering messages containing Australia’s strong border protection policies, the criminal nature of people smuggling and the risks of engaging their services, and the consequences of irregular maritime migration to Australia. In this new phase, the campaign will also introduce a social media outreach component which is expected to effectively grasp the attention of the younger populations, who comprise the majority of aspirant (regular and irregular) migrants. In addition, IOM will conduct quarterly analysis of migration trends and sentiments among populations in the target hotspot provinces. These data and analysis will offer up-to-date picture of the migration scene on the grounds and feed into future programming on counter-smuggling and prevention of irregular migration. As a result of this campaign, target populations will have enhanced understanding of the risks and dangers associated with irregular maritime migration, which contribute to positive behaviour change and prevent people from using services offered by migrant smugglers to reach Australia.
Provision of Non-Food Items (NFI) and Lifesaving Shelter Assistance to Earthquake-Affected Households in Türkiye The earthquake response in Türkiye is being lead and coordinated by the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority. A three-month state of emergency has been declared for eleven provinces that were directly affected by the earthquake. Around 3 million people, including migrants, are displaced in various settings including those choosing to stay close to their homes and others moving further away from their usual residence. An estimated 1.7 million people live in informal settlements, mostly in makeshift shelters or tents with extremely basic living conditions. Some of these settlements lack proper water and sanitation services and also require immediate assistance with basic household items and shelter support. 
 
In response to the immediate need for better shelter and access to basic services, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is improving access to basic services and temporary living conditions for populations affected by environmental hazards through the procurement and delivery of tents, living containers and essential housing items.
Strengthening Municipalities to Support the Socio-Economic Participation of Internally Displaced Persons, People on the Move and Vulnerable Groups The project aims to contribute to socio economic recovery of the flood affected communities through the revitalization of the private sector in East of Libya and increase access to job opportunities for vulnerable groups affected by the floods (including IDPs and women’s household)
Addressing the Return and Reintegration of Iraqis with Perceived Affiliation to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) – Phase II IOM will contribute towards improved stability in Iraq and reduce the risk of renewed violence, by strengthening sub-national social cohesion, addressing localized drivers of violent extremism and enhancing community capacities to address challenges related to the return and reintegration of Iraqis with perceived affiliation to the Islamic State of the Levant (ISIL). This project adopts a whole-of-society approach towards the prevention of violent extremism (PVE) and falls within German Foreign Policy strategic priority areas related to combatting terrorism, crisis prevention, conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
Local Solutions to Build Climate Resilience and Advance Peace and Stability in Bor, Pibor and Malakal The overall objective of the project is to advance peace and stability in Jonglei, GPAA and Upper Nile by reducing the negative impact of climate shocks on existing conflict dynamics as well as gender and age-based discrimination. In Greater Jonglei and Upper Nile, particularly in fragility-affected areas with active conflict dynamics, the impact of climate shocks on people's livelihoods is significant and exacerbates existing conflict dynamics, instability, gender and age-based discrimination, poverty and governance challenges. This contributes to the rise of new tensions, often triggered by competition over scarce resources, thus creating a vicious cycle of climate shocks and instability. As a peacebuilding response, the project is designed to bolster community resilience in these areas to ensure that have local communities have access to a set of distinct capacities and resources that are critical for communities to cope with, withstand or bounce back from the confluence of conflict and climate-related risks. More specifically, the project is designed to bolster three ‘resilience capacities’ in the targeted areas; absorptive capacities in order for communities to take protective action to anticipate, plan and recover from shocks such as climate shocks; adaptive capacities in order for communities to make ‘incremental adjustments, modifications to adapt to climate shocks without major change in their lifestyle; transformative capacities in order to create sustainable structures that systematically respond to stressors and shocks.
Nepal: Promoting A Human Security and Gender Equality-Based Approach to Migration and Adaptation to Climate Change Nepal witnesses high human mobility in the form of both voluntary and forced migration. The country has extremely high levels of climate risk. Climate change and human mobility is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that cuts across different policy areas, including but not limited to migration, development, climate change and environment, humanitarian assistance and security. The Government of Nepal is keen to address the issue in an integrated and coherent manner to provide solutions for people to move, people on the move and people to stay. The objective of the project is to support the Government of Nepal’s efforts to respond to challenges along the MECC nexus in a human security-centred and gender responsive manner. The project aims to further strengthen the knowledge base to inform government stakeholders and influence policies related to climate change, disasters, gender, and migration. Along with this, the project will support local governments to draft plans, adopting a human security approach, for gender responsive safe, orderly and regular migration and adaptation to climate change. By engaging with different spheres of government and engaging leading civil society organisations (CSOs) and communities, the project will promote participatory, joint approaches to analyse and address drivers that compel people to move and support the Government in taking climate actions and enhancing adaptive capacities of the population by making migration a choice.
Advancing Language Rights in Kosovo This project is to be viewed as a complementary initiative to the broader social inclusion programme with the overall objective to foster social inclusion through enhancing learning of official languages and enabling environment for equal use of official languages. To do so, the project will support the development of Administrative Instruction to the Law on the Use of Languages, improve capacities of the Office of the Language Commissioner and increase awareness about language rights through the tailored VocUp platform and media campaign.
Climate Security Risks and Natural Resources Management to Safeguard Human Mobility and Peaceful Co-existence in Central Mali This joint IOM-UNDP project will aim to contribute to reducing competition between communities over natural resources while strengthening their climate resilience through adaptive capacity targeted at environmental preservation and finally to better analyze and understand climate-related conflicts in order to enable more effective prevention actions. The proposed approach implies that if the direct and indirect impacts of climate change are identified, if the frequency and nature of related conflicts are known, if the prevention and management capacities of local authorities and communities are strengthened, then the climate resilience and security of the populations of the north and center can be improved through the implementation of high-impact actions, based on evidence and lessons learned from empirical experiences. Furthermore, if local options and mechanisms for prevention and adaptation to climate change are known, then it would be easier to support central and local authorities as well as civil society actors in a youth and women-centered approach to addressing climate security challenges.
Promoting Regional Integration Through Diaspora Capital: A Joint IOM-UNDP Initiative Building on a regional diaspora framework programme and in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), this proposed project aims to strengthen diaspora engagement towards national development initiatives. The project will target the countries of Lesotho, Malawi and Mauritius – all of which have recognized the potential contribution of diaspora communities to their development goals. This funding will support assessments/recommendations that will inform the alignment of diaspora policies with national development plans and processes, in addition to designing targeted investment instruments and related communication strategies to attract and channel diaspora engagement.  At the regional level, this project aims to facilitate a dialogue between a broad ecosystem of actors in order to strengthen regional integration and influence sub-regional actors to further contribute to opening the regulatory space for more effective cross-border remittances and use thereof. In addition to building momentum around the facilitation and utility of diaspora financial capital, this project will further kick start joint work on related areas between IOM and UNDP at the national and regional level to result in greater impact.
Improving Life-Saving Assistance and Health Care Services to Migrants and Refugees from Venezuela in Brazil In March 2020, in view of the COVID-19 global pandemic, Brazil has declared a national emergency, ordered the closure of its national borders and imposed several restrictions on economic activities and population mobility. The rapid spread of the disease and its immediate socioeconomic consequences have created new challenges to all vulnerable populations in Brazil and severely impacted the situation of Venezuelan migrants and refugees living in the country. The overall objective of this project is to improve life-saving emergency assistance to Venezuelan migrants and refugees in the state of Roraima. In the context of the pandemic and in line with the regional Refugees and Migrants Response Plan (RMRP) 2021, the proposed intervention focuses on providing food and non-food item assistance and improving health care services to migrants and refugees.
Strengthening Local Government Capacities to Mitigate the Risks of GBV and Support GBV Survivors in the Darien Region, Panama The Darien province has been characterised as one of the most important transit points for extra-regional migrants in the Americas in the last decade. In 2021, the Darien province experienced an unprecedented number of migrants entering Panama, with a record number of more than 133,000 migrants crossing the thick tropical forest, exceeding the existing institutional capacity. The forest crossing is characterised by numerous terrain difficulties; however, during 2021, there was a growing concern in the elevated numbers of reports related to gender-based violence (GBV), and more specifically of sexual violence, targeted mainly at migrant women crossing the Darien gap.This project aims to strengthen local government protection capacity to improve physical and mental health of GBV survivors who have crossed the Darien gap. To achieve this, a mapping and an assessment of local protection actors, services, and current capacities to address GBV in Darien will be conducted (Output 1.1); local actors responsible for the overall support provided to migrants will increase their sensitivity and understanding on GBV through awareness raising trainings (Output 1.2); Standard Operating Procedures for the care of GBV survivors that guarantees their timely access to medical care and other key specialised support services in Darien will be developed in coordination with stakeholders (Output 1.3); the local institutional capacities on short-term psychosocial support of GBV survivors at the Migrant Reception Stations (MRS) in Darien will be strengthened through the development and implementation of training manuals (Output 1.4); a "Guide on rights and services for migrants in Panama: Migrant women and gender-locality of Darien" will be developed (Output 1.5); a GBV Safety Audit will be conducted and an Action Plan to prevent the risk of GBV at the MRS in Darien will be developed (Output 1.6); and MRS will increase their capacities (through equipment/material support) to pilot the activities identified in the GBV Safety Audit and the Action Plan (Output 1.7). This approach will lead to protection actors utilising the developed tools and knowledge acquired in their daily tasks with a rights-based and survivor-centred approach for the prevention of GBV and support of GBV survivors (Outcome 1).
Mapping Migrant Presence and Needs: Providing Evidence to Better Protect Migrants in Jordan and Lebanon Both Jordan and Lebanon host significant numbers of international migrants and refugees. While most of this population, in both countries, are forcibly displaced,  the circumstances of migrants, including migrant workers (MWs), have also increasingly raised concern among observers in both countries, despite a significant gap in the consistent availability of quantitative, as well as qualitative data related to this population. This concern has arisen out of known systemic challenges to MWs accessing services and claiming rights, as well as an environment that provides limited protection from potential exploitation and abuse, particularly for Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs) who are known to be especially exposed to abuse and exploitation.   The proposed project will contribute to evidence-based governmental and non-governmental efforts to protect the rights of migrant workers (MWs), and migrant domestic workers (MDWs) in particular (who are predominantly women) and provide them with protection and assistance by taking the first step towards addressing the limited availability of adequate data and information about this population in Jordan. The project will build on IOM efforts in other locations, particularly in Lebanon, to map migrant presence and needs by implementing a set of adapted and tailored methods and tools to collect, compile, and analyze quantitative and qualitative data that will be made available to relevant key governmental and non-governmental stakeholders. This data will also be inclusive of migrant voices, and data collection will be implemented with the significant engagement of the intended target group. The resulting findings and recommendations will provide key stakeholders with a picture of MW profiles, disaggregated by age, gender, and nationality, with a focus on MDW profiles specifically in Jordan, needs and gaps, and behavioral trends, to inform more effective future initiatives to protect and assist this population, as well as inform advocacy for policy changes that will ultimately create a stronger protection environment for them. The project will also build on Lebanese accomplishments and support a targeted assessment to connect MWs with social protection services available in Lebanon.Disaggregated data will allow the project to explore the gender dimension of identified needs, gaps, and behavioral trends. Data analysis will, therefore, be undertaken with an eye toward contributing to addressing the gender-related disparities in the treatment and experiences of MWs. The project will also pay particular attention to incorporating and reflecting the MWs' voices and envisions the engagement of members of relevant migrant communities to participate in data collection as engaged enumerators.
Promoting Intra-Regional Labour Migration for Local Development in West African Countries - Migration for Development Program (MDP) Countries in West Africa (WA) have historically been involved in frequent movements within the region. Cross-border movements are considered a key element for improving livelihood strategies, as well as an adaptation strategy in the face of the recent health, socio-economic and climatic stressors. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected mobility through numerous direct and indirect pathways, including the socio-economic crisis that is expected to produce massive unemployment in WA, affecting sustainable development. Border and rural areas of Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea, are among the most affected by this crisis. IOM proposes to enhance the socio-economic development and intra-regional mobility of the four countries’ rural areas through youth-driven programs.
