About IOM
IOM Ethiopia’s Migration Management Unit (MMU) works closely with the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) to improve migration management and governance including countering trafficking in persons (TiP) and smuggling of migrants (SoM) and promoting regular labour migration channels as well as the migration-development nexus. In response to the challenges posed by irregular migration, TiP and SoM, MMU implements programmes with a focus on migrant protection and assistance including assisted voluntary return and reintegration (AVRR), voluntary humanitarian return (VHR), counter-trafficking (CT), humanitarian assistance to migrants in situations of vulnerability. In order to promote better migration governance and to foster the developmental potential of migration, MMU also works on technical cooperation and capacity building of government and non-government stakeholders with migration management mandates, labour migration and human development (LHD), and immigration and border management (IBM). The diversity of its programming makes it crucial for MMU to ensure the mainstreaming of crosscutting issues such as migrant protection and the adoption of a right-based approach throughout the project cycle.
IOM established Migration Response Centres (MRCs) to provide direct and lifesaving assistance to migrants stranded in migration transit areas. The MRC also works to build the capacity of the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia to respond to protection challenges in mixed migration contexts and to establish systems to identify and refer migrants in need of specialized services.
