About International Organization for Migration (IOM)
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is the leading intergovernmental organization in the field of migration. Established in 1951, IOM works closely with governments, migrants, and international partners to ensure the orderly and humane management of migration. As part of the United Nations system since 2016, its mission is to promote safe, dignified, and responsible migration for the benefit of all.
IOM provides a wide range of services, including emergency humanitarian assistance, migration health services, border management support, policy advice, and community stabilization programs. It plays a key role in addressing the needs of displaced persons, refugees, migrants, and host communities affected by conflict, disasters, or economic hardship.
Operating in over 100 countries, IOM implements thousands of projects worldwide each year, focusing on areas such as voluntary return and reintegration, counter-trafficking, labor migration, climate-induced migration, and migration data research. Through its work, IOM supports social cohesion, protects human rights, and strengthens global migration governance.
