IOM Launches Pilot Action on Voluntary Return and Community-Based Reintegration in Malawi
Malawi – IOM, the UN Migration Agency, in partnership with the European Delegation to Malawi and the Government of Malawi, this week officially launched a three-year Pilot Action on Voluntary Return and Sustainable Community-Based Reintegration. This action is fully funded by the European Union at EUR 15 million and will be implemented in four countries: Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia.
The Pilot Action focuses on addressing the challenges of irregular migration flows in the Southern Africa region, by enhancing the national structures and capacities of governments and stakeholders to facilitate dignified voluntary returns and sustainable reintegration processes. It will also enhance the sustainability of returnees’ economic, social and psychosocial reintegration through tailored individual and community level assistance.
