The IOM Strategic Plan 2024 -2028 sets out how we will achieve our vision and contribute to the achievement of key global frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Global Compact for Migration (GCM). This Strategic Plan is complemented by the Strategic Results Framework (SRF), which outlines the theory of change underpinning the Plan.

IOM Strategic Plan 2024-2028

The IOM Strategic Plan is aimed at delivering on the promise of safe, orderly, and regular migration while supporting the world’s most vulnerable. The plan – which will guide the Organization's activities through 2028 – was developed after extensive internal consultations, including with migrants themselves, as well as dialogue with Member States, with other partners and other United Nations agencies.

Overarching global objectives

 

The SRF provides a concrete roadmap for the implementation of IOM’s strategic objectives and breaks down what IOM aims to achieve, and how this can be accomplished. The SRF describes the three IOM strategic objectives, accompanied by long-term and short-term outcomes, and outputs below that. Simultaneously, the SRF describes enablers and cross-cutting priorities – all complemented by key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure progress towards the strategic objectives. When taken together, these articulate how IOM will contribute to its highest-level objectives, which facilitates results-oriented thinking and adaptive management within IOM.
 

Summary of the SRF’s overall structure

 

The SRF was developed to respond to IOM’s complex reporting, thus warranting the systematic inclusion of a wide range of IOM strategic priorities and approaches and their respective reporting requirements.

The SRF facilitates project-related results through more systematic and standardized organization-wide reporting. The SRF-based approach facilitates aggregate results reporting, increased transparency and accountability to Member States as well as streamlined data collection leading to efficiency gains.
