Mission and objectives
Established in 1951, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is the leading intergovernmental organization in the field of migration and is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society. IOM is part of the United Nations system, as a related organization.IOM supports migrants across the world, developing effective responses to the shifting dynamics of migration and, as such, is a key source of advice on migration policy and practice. The organization works in emergency situations, developing the resilience of all people on the move, and particularly those in situations of vulnerability, as well as building capacity within governments to manage all forms and impacts of mobility.The Organization is guided by the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, including upholding human rights for all. Respect for the rights, dignity and well-being of migrants remains paramount.
Context
The Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) has been a core activity of the UN Migration Agency (IOM) in Turkey since 2009 and is integral to ensuring a comprehensive approach to migration management. The AVRR programme facilitates the orderly and humaneReturn and Reintegration of migrants who are unable or unwilling to remain in host or transit countries and wish to return voluntarily to their countries of origin. For many migrants who need or want to return home but lack the means to do so, the AVRR programme provides a safe andsupportive pathway for them to Return and rebuild their lives.The most important component to IOM’s AVRR scheme, is that it is a voluntary, informed decisionbased on the free choice of the individual. This decision needs to be based on accurate information about the process, what will happen upon Return and what the options are if someone would like to remain. The process is designed to both uphold the rights of the migrantand respect state sovereignty.IOM aims to support individuals in the asylum process whose applications were rejected orwithdrawn, stranded migrants and victims of trafficking or other vulnerable individuals. Assistance is available during• Pre-departure• Return and transit• Reception• ReintegrationDuring and after the process, the progress of individuals is monitored, which contributes to research that can inform future action. IOM is working with the Presidency of Migration Management (PMM) to strengthen services offered to beneficiaries AVRR under the Assisted Voluntary & Return Programme and aims tosupport the communication and referrals of AVRR beneficiaries throughout Turkiye, as well as strengthening referral and coordination protocols between all relevant stakeholders and enhancing monitoring and evaluation of assistance provided.
