Mission and objectives
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) aims to ensure that migration is humane and orderly, delivering benefits for both migrants and society. It adopts a comprehensive, development-oriented approach to fully realize the positive potential of migration.
The organization works with its partners in the international community to assist in meeting the operational challenges of migration, advance understanding of migration issues, encourage social and economic development through migration, and uphold the human dignity and well-being of migrants. By delivering holistic and systemic support, IOM integrates this methodology into its operations at global, regional, and national levels, as outlined by its Global Strategic Plan. Effective management of human mobility and the establishment of regular migration pathways can significantly contribute to sustainable development, prosperity, and progress, a reality acknowledged in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda). This vision is also reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM), the United Nations Secretary General’s Action Agenda on Internal Displacement, and various other thematic frameworks and instruments. As the world heads into a post-2030 future, IOM is also committed to ensuring that the nexus between migration and sustainable development can be leveraged to bolster people’s resilience to significant changes including climate change, demographic shifts, urbanisation, and digitalisation
