IOM INNOVATION FACILITY ADVANCES TRANSFORMATIVE SOLUTIONS TO GLOBAL MIGRATION
CHALLENGES

GENEVA, Switzerland, 29 November 2024 -/African Media Agency(AMA)/- The
International Organization for Migration (IOM) is launching its first-ever
Innovation Facility, a dynamic platform and funding mechanism designed to drive
transformative solutions to global migration challenges and help improve the
global migration system. The Facility will help IOM deliver on our key goals of
saving lives, driving solutions to displacement, and supporting pathways for
regular migration.

“Innovation and learning are at the very heart of IOM’s strategic approach to
addressing evolving migration dynamics, helping us ensure that we leverage the
vast cultural and economic benefits of migrants and migration,” said IOM
Director General Amy Pope. “Our new Innovation Facility provides a platform for
the co-creation of impactful and sustainable solutions by IOM, our partners,
communities and migrants themselves.”

From creating a circular model for electronic waste management in displacement
settings in Uganda, to developing an innovative ambulatory system to provide
neonatal care in remote parts of Nigeria, there are endless possibilities for
innovation in the migration space.

The first priority of the new Facility will be to foster robust partnerships and
engage with a global community of change-makers to amplify the reach and
effectiveness of migration solutions. 

“We invite partners from all sectors to work with us in developing, piloting and
scaling innovative solutions that have a lasting impact on the global migration
landscape,” said Ugochi Daniels, IOM Deputy Director General for Operations.
“Ultimately, the Facility aims to accelerate results that will save lives and
protect people on the move, drive solutions to displacement, and facilitate
pathways for regular migration.” 

More than a funding mechanism, the Facility also offers targeted technical,
mentorship and capacity development support through the INCKED @ IOM – the
Innovation Capacity and Knowledge Development Initiative. Developed in
collaboration with the UNICEF Office of Innovation, innovators are trained on
topics such as systems thinking, foresight, human-centred design and business
modelling. This initiative aims to empower innovators to leverage innovation as
a tool to address complex migration challenges, while fostering a culture of
creativity and collaboration.

The Facility is being launched alongside the IOM Knowledge Management
Strategy 2024-2028, aiming to strengthen IOM’s knowledge management approach. It
ensures that lessons learned, and good practices systematically inform
decision-making and programming. The strategy also addresses knowledge
management gaps identified by IOM staff during consultations, while setting a
clear vision to strengthen knowledge sharing and contribute to enhanced results
across the organization.

The Knowledge Management Strategy 2024-28 plays a pivotal role in the
implementation of the IOM Strategic Plan 2024-2028, which identifies learning
and innovation as key enablers in achieving the Organization’s strategic
objectives.
