IOM Data

Thank you to the @AuswaertigesAmt for discussions on their support to IOM's @MissingMigrants Project in 2026.

The visit highlighted how collaborating on better data can inform policy & programming to save lives & support those impacted by nearly 80,000 recorded deaths.

This week in Banjul, The Gambia and Switzerland are co-chairing the thematic meeting on Missing Migrants under the Rabat Process, supported by ICMPD and ICRC.
