IOM has launched a dedicated Virtual Counselling forum on the Community of Practice of the Return and Reintegration Platform.

The IOM Regional Office for the East and Horn of Africa hosted (11-13 of April) a Regional Stocktaking workshop in Nairobi (Kenya) on the evidence on migrant protection and reintegration in the Horn of Africa.

The Platform takes steps towards the fulfilment of international accessibility standards and recognizes the rapid evolution of digital ecosystems and tools.

In the framework of the COMPASS Programme, IOM Ethiopia will conduct a labour market assessment of destination countries for Ethiopian labour migrants.

These improvements specifically targeting the accessibility have been implemented while recognizing the rapid evolvement of the digital ecosystems and tools, and therefore the need to consider them as part of a continuous work in progress.

The evaluation, which was undertaken by an independent expert, assessed the performance and achievements of the KMH, with a special focus on providing findings on lessons learned and good practices.

The EU-IOM Knowledge Management Hub (KMH) has made available the package of tools  for the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of return and reintegration programmes in three languages, English and French and now also Spanish.

The tools, developed through the EU-IOM Knowledge Management Hub (KMH) are a complement to the IOM Reintegration Handbook’s module “A Child Rights Approach to the Sustainable Reintegration of Migrant Children and Families”, co-developed by IOM and UNICEF.

The Knowledge Café on "How an Integrated Approach to Migration, Sustainable Reintegration and Development Can Accelerate the 2030 Agenda" focused on how practitioners can integrate migration into their work from an integrated policy perspective.

Released in English in 2019 and expanded to French in 2020, the Return and Reintegration Platform through its new Spanish version continues to consolidate itself as a global tool for information and knowledge sharing.

IOM Ethiopia is implementing COMPASS to contribute to the long-term outcomes of focus on the protection and assistance of people on the move and decreased irregular migration.

KMH is seeking to contract the services of a professional multimedia production company to produce audio-visual materials aiming to encourage pro-active communication and a renewed narrative over migrant return and sustainable reintegration.

More than 106,700 stranded and vulnerable migrants returned home to date with support from the EU-IOM Joint Initiative. The Programme marks its 5th anniversary this December.

The Community, with its 750+ members around the globe, allows for peer-to-peer discussions and aims to promote exchanges and knowledge sharing between practitioners in host, transit and origin countries.
