Practices by Stakeholder 5

Type of Practices by Stakeholder: 
Description: 

Reception and post-arrival assistance

International organizations can support States to provide reception and immediate postarrival assistance to evacuated migrants through the provision of services. These can include:

  • Temporary accommodation;
  • Food packages and non-food items;
  • Onward transportation assistance;
  • Assistance to have access to identity documentation;
  • Health assistance and psychosocial support;
  • Servicing water, sanitation, and hygiene needs;
  • Identifying migrants with particular vulnerabilities and referring them to relevant services or organizations.

Return and reintegration

Many activities on reintegration support, described above under the section on States of origin, can be carried out by international organizations. In addition, international organizations can support States in improving reintegration support, including through:

  • Research and evaluations of existing practices on migrant return and reintegration;
  • Developing guidance for States on implementing migrant return with dignity;
  • Technical assistance in designing programs;
  • Developing guidance on post-crisis return and reintegration of migrants to their State of origin or back to the host State;
  • Providing support for community awareness, de-stigmatization, and community reconciliation initiatives where needed.

Migrant profiling

International organizations can support States and other stakeholders in collecting, comparing, and analyzing data on migrants in the aftermath of a crisis. Profiling exercises serve the objective of producing aggregated data on the number of affected migrants, their residual needs and vulnerabilities, and their skills and capacities. This information can inform the design of postcrisis interventions.
