Project Context and Scope
IOM’s Strategic Plan 2024-2028 recognises that migration patterns are increasingly complex with climate change, environmental degradation and uneven development driving increasing numbers of displacement and irregular migration. The organization works to address challenges as well as create opportunities through migration and under the following institutional objectives:
1. Saving lives and protecting people on the move
2. Driving solutions to displacement
3. Facilitating pathways for regular migration
More specifically, the IOM’s Climate Action Division is guided by three strategic objectives, which are; to develop solutions for people to move; for those on the move and; for people to stay in the context of climate and environmental drivers.
IOM’s Special Liaison Office (SLO) to the African Union was established in 1998 in Addis Ababa and entered a Cooperation Agreement with the OAU in the same year. A new 3(three) Year Cooperation Agreement was signed between AU and IOM for the period 2022-2024 and renewed for 2025 – 2027.
IOM SLO works to increase awareness on the link between migration and climate and works on joint advocacy and research to support and inform policy making that integrates migration in to continental migration and climate policies in Africa and works with continental actors including the AGN.
IOM SLO through funding support from the IOM Development Fund (IOM DF) is undertaking a project supporting African climate negotiators to address human mobility in Africa. The project aims to provide capacity development and technical support to the negotiators and relevant stakeholders- Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and the African Union Commission (AUC) supporting to address human mobility in Africa.
