Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners.
With 165 member states, a further 8 states holding observer status and offices in over 100 countries, IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.
IOM works to help ensure the orderly and humane management of migration, to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced people.
The IOM Constitution recognizes the link between migration and economic, social and cultural development, as well as to the right of freedom of movement.
IOM works in the four broad areas of migration management:
- Migration and development
- Facilitating migration
- Regulating migration
- Forced migration.
IOM activities that cut across these areas include the promotion of international migration law, policy debate and guidance, protection of migrants' rights, migration health and the gender dimension of migration.

Strengthening Land Governance
General
Implemented by three partners, this project strengthens capacity for land governance among government, civil society, and ethnic nationality leaders and communities. The Centre for Development and Environment (CDE) of the University of Bern provides technical support to the government for the implementation of an open access spatial data platform on land-related information. The Land Core Group (LCG) works through a network of local and international NGO and civil society partners to increase capacity for research, advocacy and awareness on land tenure security, while Transnational Institute (TNI) focuses on supporting ethnic nationalities in ceasefire areas to increase their understanding and practices around equitable land governance. All three partners work to build national consensus on approaches to securing land tenure for women and ethnic minorities, including under customary systems.
