Engage, Connect, Empower: Building Resilience through Integrated Action of Dynamic Youth and Local Government for the Environment (BRIDGE) The project aims to address the critical gap in public life participation of youth that compromises their communities’ cohesiveness and capacity to withstand current and potential future social and economic shocks in a country already severely impacted by a weak economy, lack of opportunities, scarcely efficient social services and precarious social safety-nets, as well as high rates of emigration and return migration, all further exacerbated by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. In tackling these challenges through its “Engage, Connect, Empower” approach, IOM seeks to strengthen youth in Ukraine to bring about cohesion and resilience in their communities. In doing so, the action anticipates that 1) youth, youth-focused organisations and authorities will increase their engagement in community action; 2) they will have enhanced connections across Ukraine; and 3) youth will be empowered to be drivers of change in their communities.

Multi-Sectorial Livelihood Support to Vulnerable Communities in Zimbabwe At the end of 2020, above average rainfall severely impacted both rural and urban populations in eastern, central and southern parts of Zimbabwe resulting in damages to infrastructure, properties and livelihoods. In addition to natural disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the return of over 170,000 migrants to Zimbabwe, increasing the pressure in communities already highly affected in the Manicaland, Masvingo and Matabeleland South provinces. These areas have witnessed a combination of forced and voluntary returnees coming from neighbouring countries affected by the socio-economic impact of the pandemic. The socioeconomic effects of COVID-19 have disproportionately affected people in vulnerable situations and marginalized communities resulting not only in physical protection risks, limited access to basic services, restricted opportunities for employment and education, social tension, stigmatization but also in significant mental health and psychological and social stress on individuals, families, and communities. Through this project, IOM aims to provide assistance through mental health and psychosocial support to vulnerable households in natural hazard-prone affected areas, support income generating activities for the durable reintegration of returnees, and build the resilience of internally displaced persons, returnees and affected host communities.

Strengthening Active TB Case Finding and Management Among Cambodian Cross-Border Migrants In partnership with the Centre for Tuberculosis and Leprosy (CENAT) and the National TB program in Cambodia (NTP), the project will aim to set up a systematic TB case finding mechanism at the border using innovative strategies targeting daily flows of Cambodian irregular migrants being returned from Thailand to the border town of Poi Pet in Banteay Meanchey Province.  The systematic TB screenings will use innovative diagnostic procedures to screen up to 120,000 returnees over 31 months at the Immigration and Poi Pet Transit Centre in collaboration with national local health and non-health Government authorities. The project will ensure all TB cases detected by the project will be referred to the existing local government TB services through establishing a referral mechanism and robust monitoring system to track TB cases and treatment outcomes. This project is a component of a regional Global Fund grant to address TB among Migrants and Mobile Populations in the GMS.
