The International Organization for Migration is the leading inter-governmental organization promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all, with a presence in over 100 countries, and supporting 175 member states to improve migration management. In 2021, IOM´s work on the mobility dimensions of crisis reached 31.7 million persons (including internally displaced persons, refugees and migrants) and host community members.

The Organization works to help ensure the orderly and humane management of migration, to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, be they refugees, displaced persons or other uprooted people. The IOM Constitution gives explicit recognition to the link between migration and economic, social and cultural development, as well as to the right of freedom of movement of persons.

It also operates in the four broad areas of migration management: migration and development, facilitating migration, regulating migration, and addressing forced migration. Cross-cutting activities include the promotion of international migration law, policy debate and guidance, protection of migrants’ rights, migration health and the gender dimension of migration.

The IOM Office in North Macedonia provides expertise on a broad range of technical areas such as emergency and post-crisis management, immigration and border management, labour migration and human development, environment and climate change, prevention of violent extremism, migration health, and migrant protection and assistance.

The IOM Mission in North Macedonia was established in 1999, and the country became an IOM Member State in 2017. With a long-standing presence and experience in North Macedonia, IOM has and is implementing a myriad of interventions tailored to the needs of relevant national authorities to respond to the pressing and long-term migration-related goals.
