IOM has been selected an implementing partner for the Global Action to Prevent and Address Trafficking in Human Beings and the Smuggling of Migrants, to be managed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and implemented in 13 countries. The objective of the Global Action is to prevent and address trafficking and smuggling by assisting selected countries in developing and implementing comprehensive national counter-trafficking and smuggling responses, and strengthening their capacities to efficiently address these issues, including at transnational level and in cooperation with the civil society.
Within the framework of this project, IOM will (i) develop the IOM Handbook on the Protection and Assistance of Migrants in Situations of Vulnerability, as well as develop other IOM guidance and materials on best practice standards, systems, mechanisms, and tools to effectively protect migrants in need; (ii) provide technical assistance to government and civil society organizations to improve the provision of assistance and protection services to trafficked victims and other vulnerable migrants; (iii) support the development of national referral mechanisms and coordination structures to strengthen the identification, referral, and protection of trafficked victims and other vulnerable migrants; and (iv) facilitate the disbursement of small grants to civil society organizations for the provision of assistance and reintegration services to trafficked victims, smuggled migrants and other vulnerable migrants.
The IDF-funded project will complement the partnership with UNODC in the Global Action by contributing to the development of the IOM Handbook on the Protection and Assistance of Migrants in Situations of Vulnerability and related technical guidance on migrant assistance and protection.
