The International Organization for Migration (IOM), the UN Migration Agency is a dynamic and growing inter-governmental organization, with 172 member states. IOM is committed to the principle that “humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society”. Established in 1951 and now active in over 440 field locations worldwide, IOM works with partners, government and civil society to promote international cooperation to address operational challenges of migration and mobility, assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems, and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced people. IOM addresses the migratory phenomenon from an integral and holistic perspective, including links to development, in order to maximize its benefits and minimize its negative effects.

IOM’s interventions have included to date emergency health services, through mobile clinics and the provision of assisted referral services, support to restore logistics’ capacity of district health services to provide mobile brigade integrated services, training of TBAs, as well as tracing of loss-to-follow up patients with chronic diseases and linking them back to care.
IOM has also been supporting the COVID19 preparedness and response through support to risk communication and community engagement across communities affected by displacement and/or resettlement.
