IOM has developed a strategy for Return, Recovery and Resilience to guide its programming beyond humanitarian assistance to support South Sudanese in facilitating transformative change that addresses the drivers of vulnerability and risk. The objective of IOM’s Return, Recovery and Resilience strategy is to support conducive environments for sustainable returns and recovery through building resilience, peace and stability from the ground up.
IOM recognizes the need to integrate elements of this plan in its ongoing humanitarian assistance, as well as develop dedicated initiatives to address transition and recovery challenges. Given its expertise as the global migration agency, IOM brings a distinct approach and added value in responding to the interconnectedness of conflict and mobility and in addressing the primary impacts of forced migration on affected populations.
