IOM Seeks US$ 177 Million for Urgent Humanitarian Needs

IOM is appealing for US$ 177 million to address the vital needs of
migrants and internally displaced victims of conflict and natural
disasters around the world.

The call for funding is part of the United Nations Consolidated
Appeals Process (CAP) – a process designed to ensure all
needs and requirements are fully coordinated with humanitarian
partners.

IOM responds to humanitarian crises, whether natural or
man?made, by providing transportation to those in need, including
extremely vulnerable people and third-country nationals.

It also provides transitional shelter, non-food relief items,
health and livelihood assistance, and is the lead agency for camp
coordination and camp management (CCCM) in natural disasters.

In the aftermath of crises, IOM helps strengthen
governments’ capacity to tackle migration?related issues that
often arise from emergency situations, such as human trafficking
and irregular migration.

The IOM appeal for US$ 177 million is part of the annual
mid-year review of all humanitarian appeals organized and led by
the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Activities (UN OHCA) in New York.

The funding will go towards humanitarian assistance projects in
16 countries including Afghanistan, Chad, Côte
d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti,
Haiti, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Philippines, Somalia, South
Sudan, Sudan, Yemen and Zimbabwe.
