WASHINGTON, Jan 22 (Reuters) - The United Nations migration agency aims to raise
$7.9 billion this year through a new funding push to bolster efforts to protect
migrants, reduce displacement and expand avenues to migrate legally, it said on
Monday.
The Geneva-based International Organization for Migration (IOM) is seeking funds
from governments, private sector companies and individual donors, according to
the announcement.
"The evidence is overwhelming that migration, when well-managed, is a major
contributor to global prosperity and progress," IOM Director General Amy Pope
said in a written statement. "We can and must do better."

The funding effort comes as the number of people forced to move reached 117
million by the end of 2022, including a record 71 million forcibly displaced
within their own countries, IOM said in a report accompanying the appeal.
Illegal immigration and asylum have become contentious political issues in
Europe, the United States and other nations in the past decade as more migrants
have taken dangerous journeys across the Mediterranean and to the U.S.-Mexico
border.

Pope, a former senior White House official, took the helm at IOM in October 2022
pledging to partner with the private sector to address migration issues.
As part of its fundraising goal, IOM is seeking $2.7 billion to prevent forced
displacement, including in cases where people move due to climate change.
