Mission and objectives

The IOM Mission in Ukraine was established in 1996. In line with IOM’s global strategy, IOM Ukraine aims at advancing the understanding of the opportunities and challenges of migration in the Ukrainian context. The IOM Mission in Ukraine provides assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs) and conflict-affected people, fights trafficking in human beings, assists the Government in dealing with irregular migration, improving its migration management system, and creating migrant-inclusive health practices and policies. IOM supports the development of comprehensive and evidence-based migration policies and legislation in line with international norms and builds government’s capacity in harnessing the development potential of migration, among others, by creating incentives for migrants’ remittances investment and offering evidence-based policy advice to enhance labour migration management. During 24 years of presence in Ukraine, IOM has assisted over half a million migrants (Ukrainians and other nationalities), IDPs, potential migrants, victims of trafficking and other vulnerable groups, directly or through its project partners.
