Benefiting Member States
Solomon Islands Fiji Vanuatu Papua New Guinea
The objective of this project is to contribute to an environment which enables migrants, their families and migration-affected communites to enjoy the benefits of good physical health and wellbeing. This will be done through building capacity to address the mobility dimensions of sexual and reproductive health (SRH), violence against women and girls (VAWG), and communicable diseases in Fiji, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Vanuatu and Solomon Islands (SOI). The expected outcome of the project is that governments and the civil society develop, update and deliver community health policies and programmes that are sensitive to gender and mobility. To enable this outcome, IOM will ensure stakeholders have access to up-to-date strategic information relating to the mobility dimensions of community health (VAWG, SRH & communicable diseases) (Output 1.1). This will be achieved through conducting a baseline assessment in the four target countries. This assessment will be used to develop a Gender, Mobility and Community Health curriculum for the Pacific context (Output 1.2). This tool will be based on IOM’s institutional Gender, Migration and HIV (GMH) curriculum (originally developed in Southern Africa). This curriculum will be tested through pilot training for government and non-government stakeholders. As a result of the training, government and non-government stakeholders will have improved technical capacity (skills, tools, and knowledge) to contribute to the protection of women and girls in migration-affected communities. This project aligns with Outcome 1.3 of the IOM Pacific Strategy ‘Migrants, their families and migration-affected communities enjoy the benefits of good physical health.’
