Enhancing Response Mechanisms and Assistance of Vulnerable Migrants in Tunisia The project will support the Tunisian authorities and local civil society, in the continued provision of assistance to and protection of stranded migrants, including to further increase the availability of assisted voluntary return and reintegration to those unable or unwilling to remain in Tunisia.
Operational Foresight and Supporting Local Preparedness in the Context of Climate Displacement, Fiji; Indonesia; Philippines; Thailand Improving data related to potential future climate displacement is critical to advancing targeted, context-specific responses that integrate both short and long-term perspectives, and improving understanding of the phenomenon beyond environmental factors, including political, economic, sociocultural, and demographic drivers of displacement. To support this improved evidence base, IOM and its partners are proposing this pilot action, targeting the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Fiji, to (1) Create a Risk Index for Climate Displacement (RICD) which will improve understanding of potential future impacts on population movements and underpin local action and integrate RICD data into local contingency and DRRM planning processes; (2) Catalyse local finance and action to implement priority actions identified during the planning process, through the creation of a Climate Catalytic Fund (CCF). CCF actions will enhance resilience and prevention efforts, principally through an HDPN approach; (3) Support immediate response in case of new crises.

It will reach this objective by offering the alternative of Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) to a maximum number of 250 migrants in vulnerable situations in Morocco.
Preventing Human Trafficking and Gender based Violence in Falcón The main objective of the proposed intervention is to combat and prevent human trafficking and GBV in the state of Falcón through interventions that focus on i) increasing awareness among the vulnerable groups and people at risk of human trafficking, as well as identified survivors of human trafficking and ii) enhancing capacities of local authorities and civil society organizations within the state to better prevent and respond to human trafficking.  In that line, IOM proposes: a) the organization of awareness raising prevention campaigns including movie screenings and information on GBV and human trafficking response services and reporting mechanisms for vulnerable groups at risk of TiP and GbV, vulnerable communities, returnees, and people on the move; b) the training of civil servants from local authorities and local  NGOs' staff for the detection, identification and derivation of cases and possible cases of trafficking in persons; c) the development a referral pathway document to ensure proper access to case management, assistance and services; and d) the design of a training plan in collaboration with coordination mechanisms such as the UN Protection Cluster Working Group on the Prevention of TiP.
Health Systems Strengthening Three Programme (HSS3) IOM, through this project, aims to contribute to increased immunization coverage of children 0 to 23 months through scaling up routine immunization services to IDPs, returnees and host communities. The routine immunization services will be delivered through static, outreach and mobile teams in Abyei, Wau, Rubkona, and Malakal counties and protection of civilians (PoCs) sites. The project will cover 34 health facilities and their catchment population in and outside of the PoCs. IOM will map the outpatient therapeutic centres and mobile/outreach sites in the counties and coordinate with service providers so that children enrolled in the outpatient therapeutic programme (OTP) are fully vaccinated with the childhood vaccines as approved by the Ministry of Health (MoH) of South Sudan.
Providing Integrated Humanitarian Assistance to Displaced Populations in Iraq The humanitarian situation in Iraq continues to be characterized by general instability, protracted internal displacement, lack of public services, as well as inadequate shelter and housing. Humanitarian and protection needs remain significant across the country, despite the discontinuation of the humanitarian cluster system and the transition away from a post-conflict context. 
 
In this project, IOM continues building on previous and current humanitarian interventions, with a focus on improving the living conditions of displaced families in out-of-camp locations who are prevented or not able to return or integrate locally, through an integrated humanitarian response. IOM is providing shelter assistance and continues to strengthen its response in remote and underserved informal sites. The most critical needs of displaced populations are being addressed through the provision of integrated shelter support and site upgrades to improve safe and dignified living conditions and allow internally displaced persons (IDP) families to concentrate on other needs.
Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), Direct Life-Saving and Assistance for Durable Solution for Conflict-Affected Populations in Tanganyika Province, Democratic Republic of Congo Displacement caseloads in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are mixed between the recent wave of population movements and populations displaced for over three years. As a result, the needs and the situations lived by these internally displaced persons, vary significantly in terms of their security, the length of displacement periods, and their wishes for longer-term solutions. Within this action, IOM intervenes to support the displaced populations towards durable solutions as well as to provide life-saving assistance to populations continue to be displaced in Tanganyika province. IOM is providing the displaced populations with access for information on options to return, relocation or local integration, facilitating the populations to know better their area of destination, providing transportation, multipurpose cash and shelter assistance to allow the returnees to start their new life outside the camp. For this action, IOM is collaborating bilaterally with UNICEF who is providing assistance in the destination area namely water, sanitation and hygiene assistance, education, assistance for malnutrition cases, vaccination.
Enhancing Migration Response in Romania, Phase 2 The aim of the project is to continue supporting the migration response in Romania, through: provision of information to conflict-affected population living in Romania and support their inclusion into host communities across Romania, as well as data collection and analysis of people on the move fleeing Ukraine. It also proposes to strengthen the capacity of the Municipality of Bucharest to provide and/or facilitate access to basic services for migrants.
Supporting Eastern Libya Recovery Through Socio-Economic and Psychosocial Support and Disaster Preparedness in the Aftermath of Storm Daniel On 10 September 2023, Storm Daniel made landfall in Libya causing severe weather conditions, including strong winds and sudden heavy rainfall affecting the northeastern areas of Libya. The storm led to significant infrastructure damage, including road network, disrupted the telecommunications network, and caused large scale displacement. 
 
Through this project, IOM aims to respond to the immediate recovery and reconstruction needs while placing preparedness and prevention at the core of its intervention and to pre-emptively address future hazards through, inter-alia capacity building, stakeholder engagement, and advocacy work. IOM is strengthening the ability of responders and humanitarian actors to respond to and manage disasters, as well as enhance preparedness and coordination capacities. Additionally, IOM is promoting the resilience of flood-affected communities by supporting the health facilities to provide essential healthcare services, and by supporting socio-economic recovery through implementation of Community Improvement Projects (CIPs) and community resilience activities through community resilience activities and improving access to psychosocial support.
Government of the Slovak Republic Contribution to Afghanistan Response This project is responding to emergency needs that arise in Afghanistan but are not covered under other funds. This includes, for example, hot meals for flood affected families in Herat. The funds are also being used to strengthen independent monitoring and feedback channels through AWAAZ, the UN-wide call centre and complaints mechanism, and for strengthening key emergency and support positions in the mission.
Piloting a Constructed Wetland System for Wastewater Treatment in Southern Iraq Iraq has been named the fifth most vulnerable country to adverse effects of climate change affected by soaring temperatures, insufficient and diminishing rainfall, intensified droughts and water scarcity, frequent sand and dust storms, and reoccurring floodings. In addition to this, water policies in neighbouring countries have shrunk vital water sources in the region, while rapid population growth, urbanization, and inefficient water use by the agricultural and industrial sectors is propelling an increasing demand for water. The scale of environmental change is likely to be devastating and may force Iraqis to relocate in order to survive. Through this pilot project, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is supporting marshland and rural communities in southern Iraq in coping with the complex crisis of drought, water pollution, and climate change using nature-based solutions. This is being achieved through improving water quality and enhancing ecosystem services to sustain livelihoods dependent on affected wetlands.
Capacity Development for Migration Management in the Democratic Republic of the Congo The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a large country, spanning across 2,345,409 km2 and sharing borders with nine countries. Improving border management strategies is therefore a priority for the government. In addition, the 2015 administrative division led to the establishment of new autonomous provinces, requiring an analysis of the migration management framework as well as the infrastructure, equipment, and capacity needs at the provincial level. The Kongo Central Province, bordering the Republic of Angola and the Republic of the Congo, was identified as a priority by the General Directorate for Migration (DGM) due to the extent of migratory flows in this area. In light of the above, this project aims to contribute to the development of effective border management strategies in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This will be achieved through two outputs, namely: 1) The migration management framework at the national level is assessed in a gender-sensitive manner, and an action plan is made available to key stakeholders and partners; 2) The infrastructure, equipment and capacity needs of the DGM as well as border management challenges are identified in the Province of Kongo Central.
Towards Sustainable Integration of Skills in Migration Governance In the face of changing employment modalities, skills requirements and digitalization, it is becoming increasingly important to ensure that cooperation is of equal benefit for all. Therefore, this project aims to support state partners, peers on the international level as well as other stakeholders with much needed global consolidated expertise on skills and migration, as well as formulated policy and capacity development solutions. This project will create a basis for capacity development and interstate cooperation on skills-based migration, establishment and implementation of skills mobility partnerships which may be tackled through follow up interventions. The objective of this project is to contribute to human capital and economic development both in countries of origin and destination through effective cooperation on and governance of skills-based labour mobility.
Strengthening the National Commission on Human Rights (NCHR) Capacity to Respond to Civilian Needs in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique This project seeks to increase the operational capacity of the National Commission on Human Rights in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique.
Northern Mozambique Protracted Displacement: Facilitating Durable Solutions through an Evidence-Based Approach The ongoing crisis in Mozambique, triggered by natural hazards and attacks by non-state armed groups, continues to exacerbate pre-existing vulnerabilities, protracted displacement, and multi-sectoral needs. The combined impacts of interruption to essential services, unpredictable security conditions and multiple hazardous events in the country have led to increasingly complex and mixed-mobility flows. Between 2017 and 2023, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has observed the evolution of new, renewed and protracted displacements faced by 834,000 internally displaced persons, as well as the presence of 420,000 returnees in newly accessible locations across Northern Mozambique, as of April 2023. The majority of those displaced are children and children, with a significant number of individuals with disabilities. This underscores the imperative need to ensure evidence-based interventions that address the specific needs and conditions experienced by vulnerable populations. 
 
To strengthen evidence-based interventions for integrated resilience, social cohesion and solutions for communities impacted by protracted displacement in northern Mozambique, IOM is conducting area-based solutions assessments and analysis across select districts to collect primary data on livelihoods, access to services, stability and social cohesion.
Ensuring the Delivery of Critical Humanitarian Assistance to Vulnerable Migrants in the Dominican Republic and The Bahamas. Haiti is a major source country for emigrants, which over the years has resulted in a significant diaspora and a migrant population living in host countries such as The Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. As a direct consequence of the lack of regular pathways for migration and limited socioeconomic opportunities in their country of origin, many of these Haitian migrants are often forced take irregular pathways, risking their lives by embarking on dangerous journeys to reach more prosperous territories, including perilous sea and land crossings. In fact, Haitian migrants regularly face a wide range of protection issues, including human trafficking, smuggling, communicable diseases as well as lack of reintegration assistance for returnees and deportees. 
 
In close coordination with government authorities, the proposed intervention aims to ensure access to critical humanitarian assistance to vulnerable migrant communities, including Haitians, in The Bahamas and the Dominican Republic.
Fast-Track Transportation from Moldova to Romania in Support of Authorities After eight years of armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, which had left millions of people in need of humanitarian assistance, the Russian Federation launched a military offensive on the country on 24 February 2022. This has triggered one of the fastest-growing displacement and humanitarian crises on record, pushing millions into internal displacement and abroad in search of safety. The Republic of Moldova is one of the countries most affected by the refugee situation, and its border, migration and asylum management capacities are under significant strain. Some 75 per cent of refugees arriving to Moldova continue towards Romania and other European countries, nonetheless the proportion that remains is straining the country's capacity. As part of burden sharing between the receiving countries, it is the priority of the UN and governments involved to assist refugees with onward transportation, primarily to Romania by road and rail, and to the European Union (EU+) countries by air. Through this project, IOM seeks to provide refugees from Ukraine with safe and dignified transportation from Palanca border crossing point between Ukraine and Moldova, to Romanian border and further to Bucharest, where refugees can either stay or proceed to other EU member states by road or train.
Missing Migrants Project: Data, Research and Capacity Building on Migrant Deaths and Disappearances Worldwide The project continues and builds on the work funded by Switzerland’s FDFA over the past two years on the Missing Migrants Project (MMP), which is carried out by the International Organization for Migration’s Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC). The outputs of this next project phase will be threefold. Output 1 will ensure the continuation of the global data collection and monitoring of incidents of migrant deaths and disappearances worldwide through the global MMP team at GMDAC and the network of six data focal points in IOM regional offices. The second output will be to provide timely analysis of Missing Migrants Project data, through a series of 6 briefings that will look at regional data and global themes related to the topic of missing migrants. The third output will be to continue the work funded by Switzerland’s FDFA regarding the needs and challenges faced by families of missing migrants in Ethiopia, Spain, the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe, by producing internal guidelines for IOM and conducting awareness trainings on how families of missing migrants can be better supported.
Border Districts and Community-Based Conflict Prevention and Peace Building in Malawi This project strengthens capabilities to mitigate and respond to existing and projected conflict, including radicalisation and terrorism and the potential for Islamic radicalization directly from Mozambique, which is playing on existing latent religious tensions at the community level. It provides support in two border districts in areas of institutional, professional, and community resources to identify, mitigate, and respond to violent conflict or risk of conflict. This includes supporting community networks, increasing their engagement in conflict identification, mitigation, and prevention, strengthening border security management, and increasing the capacity of the national peace architecture.
Strengthening IOM's Field Support in Emergency Preparedness and Response Global phenomena such as rapid population growth and urbanization, persistent poverty and socio-economic inequality, and the growing number of natural disasters, protracted and complex crises have continued to increase the amount of humanitarian needs worldwide. As the UN’s migration agency, IOM has a unique role to play in responding to the needs of people who are displaced, vulnerable to or affected by these phenomena. Like most humanitarian organizations, however, IOM’s approaches to assistance - and the underlying processes that support these approaches - must continuously be reviewed and reframed, and the organization’s capacity must be strengthened in order to reflect the ever-changing environment and needs on the ground. IOM aims to enhance its preparedness and surge capacity to respond in a principled, effective, efficient, and accountable manner while assisting and protecting the most vulnerable populations affected and displaced by natural disasters and conflict.
Joint Partnership between UNFPA and IOM for Cash Assistance to Pregnant and Lactating Women More than 15 months after the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is estimated that more than 5.4 million people displaced in the country – 58 per cent of whom displaced for six months or more and 5.6 million returnees. Conflict continues to increase the humanitarian crisis and has led to a multitude of stressors and challenges that are often difficult for people affected by the war to cope with. The need for immediate assistance is immense especially for pregnant and lactating women in Ukraine considering their additional needs. 
 
Through one-time cash assistance to 5,200 lactating and pregnant women, and in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund, the International Organization for Migration is contributing towards the mitigation of negative effects of the war on pregnant and lactating women in Ukraine, reducing their vulnerabilities and addressing their needs.
Strengthening Emergency Health Response and Humanitarian Border Management in Sudan In response to the armed conflict that suddenly erupted in Sudan on 15 April 2023 that has so far displaced more than six million people, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) through this project aims to improve basic service provision of lifesaving humanitarian assistance at the main points of entry (PoEs) in Sudan, namely Ashkeet PoE in Northern state and Galabat PoE in Gedaref state. This is achieved through a two-pronged approach consisting of improving the existing primary healthcare centers at both PoEs with integrated service of health, nutrition, mental health and psychosocial support, and protection services; strengthening capacity of frontline workers in humanitarian border management; and constructing a covered waiting area for vulnerable individuals at Ashkeet PoE.
Phase IV of Supporting the Productive Integration of Venezuelan Refugees and Migrants in Latin America Program This project proposal is for the fourth phase of the EiM program, and seeks to raise the visibility of challenges faced by migrant and host communities in the LATAM region and how innovative approaches to socio-economic integration leads to better outcomes, more resilience and a more empowered community for all. This fourth phase will be implemented through a communication strategy that involves the development and dissemination of captivating multimedia products and participation in strategic visibility events with key stakeholders in Ecuador, Peru and the United States. By raising awareness and visibility of the challenges faced by migrants and host communities and how programs like EiM help communities overcome these issues with key stakeholders and potential future funders, IOM aims to continue aiding the socio-economic integration of displaced people, highlighting the program’s capacity to scale and replicate as well as demonstrating its success in bringing economic resilience to the region.
Provision of Integrated Humanitarian Assistance to the Most Vulnerable Crisis-Affected People through Mobile Teams in Sudan Heavy clashes between the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces that erupted in on 15 April 2023 have already displaced more than 1 million people and affected the entire region. The unfolding crisis has resulted in a devastating humanitarian situation in and around countries bordering Sudan, creating additional needs to a situation that was already dire. Through this project, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is providing multi-sectoral humanitarian assistance in the form of health, nutrition, mental health and psychosocial support and protection to crisis-affected populations in three bordering states (Northern, White Nile and Gedaref) in Sudan. These integrated services are being provided by multi-disciplinary teams assisting the most vulnerable migrants, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host community members. This multi-sectoral assistance contributes towards the improvement of the health, nutrition and protection environment faced by IDPs, migrants and host communities.
