UN MIGRATION AGENCY NEEDS $7.9 BILLION IN 2024

Geneva: The United Nations migration agency launched its first global annual
appeal on Monday, requesting nearly $8 billion for this year alone to manage the
growing scale of population displacement.

The International Organization for Migration said it was seeking a total of $7.9
billion in 2024 to "save lives and protect people on the move, drive solutions
to displacement, and facilitate safe pathways for regular migration".

"Irregular and forced migration have reached unprecedented levels and the
challenges we face are increasingly complex," IOM chief Amy Pope said in a
statement.

"The evidence is overwhelming that migration, when well-managed, is a major
contributor to global prosperity and progress," said Pope, who last October
became the first woman to lead the organisation.

"We are at a critical moment in time, and we have designed this appeal to help
deliver on that promise," she said.



"We can and must do better."

60,000 dead or disappeared

IOM was founded more than 70 years ago, but only became a UN agency in 2016 as a
smaller, parallel operation to the UNHCR, which focuses on refugees.

It works in emergency situations, advocates for migrants' rights, and sees
humane and orderly migration as a benefit to people on the move and the
societies they settle in.

The agency said Monday that full funding of its appeal would allow it to serve
almost 140 million people, including internally displaced people and the local
communities that host them.

It would also help IOM to expand its development work, aimed at helping prevent
further displacement, it said.



Breaking down the appeal, it said a full $3.4 billion of the requested funds
would go towards saving lives and protecting those on the move.

Another $2.7 would be used to work on solutions to displacement, including
reducing the risks and impacts of climate change.

The remainder would help facilitate regular pathways to migration and to help
make IOM's service delivery more effective.

"This funding will address the large and widening gap between what we have, and
what we need in order to do the job right," Pope said.

IOM said that its Missing Migrants Project showed that more than 60,000 people
had died or disappeared during perilous migration journeys over the past nine
years.

Migration brings prosperity

"The consequences of underfunded, piecemeal assistance come at a greater cost,
not just in terms of money but in greater danger to migrants through irregular
migration, trafficking and smuggling," it warned.

Like a number of other UN agencies, IOM is calling for funds to be able to take
a more longterm, preventative approach, instead of being forced to always
respond in crisis mode.

The agency said that properly funding its operations would help it streamline
and optimise its response, and would effectively reduce the cost of crisis
management.

It also urged countries to recognise the benefits of migration.

"Migration is a cornerstone of global development and prosperity," it said,
adding that "the 281 million international migrants generate 9.4 percent of
global GDP".

"Well-managed migration has the potential to advance development outcomes,
contribute to climate change adaptation, and promote a safer and more peaceful,
sustainable, prosperous and equitable future."
