Transition and Recovery

IOM’s transition and recovery programming aims to support locally-driven efforts that help communities transition from conflict to relative stability, as well as to recover from socio-economic shocks brought on by conflict or weak socioeconomic development.

These interventions are in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for Chad which is focused on ensuring food security, resilient livelihoods, inclusive institution-building and sustainable service delivery.

IOM helps to reduce pressure on community resources and improve basic services by constructing, restoring and expanding basic infrastructure.

The Organization enhances economic growth and recovery by providing individuals with grants and training in business skills to help them find gainful employment or open their own enterprises. This enhances communities’ self-reliance and strengthens their resilience.

By rehabilitating schools, training teachers and advocating for displaced people access to schools, IOM also improves access to education for children.

IOM empowers inclusive and participatory local governance by working with the authorities to enhance their capacity and ensure inclusive mechanisms and accountability to Yemeni communities and supports community peacebuilding process through empowerment of local groups such as conflict resolution committees, water user associations and groups.

Finally, IOM works on building the capacity of government authorities on managing immigration systems and borders in a manner consistent with international standards, while supporting national and regional security, economic development and the protection of migrants’ rights.
