In the project, the IOM provides tools to improve migration governance at the national and local levels, provides technical support to strengthen integration strategies, and promotes the approach of socio-economic, productive development and collaborative relationships among refugee, migrant, and host community populations.
The United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat) has a mandate to promote sustainable urban development in cities and human settlements. It leads the action from a territorial perspective, focusing on urban planning instruments and strategies to build prosperous and inclusive cities and territories, as well as promoting the social construction of habitat as a platform for the integration of the refugee and migrant community and social cohesion.
