IOM VISION
IOM envisions a Haiti where, despite the ongoing crises, families are more secure,
institutions trusted, and communities resilient. By empowering national partners,
strengthening governance, and coordinating humanitarian, development, and
peace efforts, IOM aims to prevent and minimize displacement, foster safe
migration pathways, and restore dignity through reliable services. IOM’s strategy
emphasizes national ownership, and sustainable solutions, ensuring investments
leave lasting impact. Success means fewer humanitarian needs as stability, safety,
and opportunity become reality for all Haitians. Together with the government
and partners, IOM strives to break cycles of vulnerability, future-proof responses,
and build a foundation for long-term recovery and sustainable development.

State of Fragility Extreme fragility
* Data as of publishing / update date.
Haiti remains in a state of extreme fragility, facing
overlapping political, economic, environmental, social, and
security crises. The resignation of Prime Minister Ariel
Henry in 2024 triggered a new wave of instability, with the
transitional government struggling to assert control. As of
mid-2025, over 90 per cent of Port-au-Prince is estimated
to be under gang control (UN News 2025), with 4,864
people killed between October 2024 and June 2025 (UN
News 2025).
The economy has contracted for six consecutive years
(IFAD 2025), with inflation reaching 28.4 per cent (World
Bank 2025) and nearly half the population experiencing
acute food insecurity (UN News 2025). Environmental
vulnerabilities compound the crisis. While Haiti was spared
major hurricanes in 2024, heavy rains caused flooding in
six departments. Urban overcrowding, deforestation, and
soil erosion continue to drive rural-urban migration,
particularly into the capital. Social cohesion is under severe
strain, with vigilante groups emerging in response to the
absence of state protection.
Haiti’s crisis is characterized by internal displacement,
forced returns, and irregular migration. As of September
2025, over 1.4 million people are internally displaced
(DTM 2025) —a 10 per cent increase since July 2025.
About 15 per cent of internally displaced persons (IDPs)
are hosted in more than 230 displacement sites and
collective centres. Displacement is driven by gang violence,
particularly in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince
(MAPAP). Deportations from the Dominican Republic
averaged 1,000 per day between October 2024 and
September 2025, adding 272,420 returnees—nearly 5 per
cent of the national population (ONM and IOM 2025) .
These flows overwhelm reception systems and exacerbate
protection risks. Displacement sites are overcrowded and
lack basic services, exposing residents to health risks and
gender-based violence, including sexual exploitation and
abuse. Cross-border mobility is further constrained by
potential rollbacks of Temporary Protected Status and
United States parole programmes, threatening remittance
flows that account for over 15 per cent of the country’s
gross domestic product (GDP) (World Bank 2025) . In
this context, IDPs occupying collective centres such as
schools are exposed to often forced, unpredictable and
unsustainable evictions to allow for the reopening of
schools, hence subjecting already vulnerable IDPs to
increased protection risks and secondary - and even
tertiary displacement.
Key drivers include political instability, weak governance,
Haiti Crisis Response Plan 20266
and the absence of rule of law. The collapse of public
institutions has created a vacuum filled by armed groups.
Economic collapse, food insecurity, and environmental
degradation further drive displacement and irregular
migration. Deportations and limited legal pathways for
migration increase vulnerability, while donor hesitancy and
underfunded appeals restrict humanitarian response.
The convergence of displacement, violence, and economic collapse has created a downward spiral. Mobility patterns are increasingly
involuntary and survival-driven. Displacement disrupts education, livelihoods, and access to healthcare, particularly for women and
children. The erosion of trust in institutions and the rise of vigilante justice risk tipping the country into civil conflict. Humanitarian
access is severely constrained, and aid delivery is frequently disrupted by insecurity and infrastructure breakdowns.

COORDINATION
IOM Haiti operates within a complex landscape of governmental, inter-agency, and bilateral coordination mechanisms to ensure a
coherent and effective crisis response. At the national level, IOM is an active participant in both the Humanitarian Country Team
(HCT) and the UN Country Team (UNCT), where it engages in regular meetings, joint planning activities, and strategic information
sharing to maximize collective resources and minimize assistance duplication. IOM holds leadership and co-leadership roles, notably
co-leading the Shelter/Non-Food Items (SNFI) Cluster and the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster
alongside the Housing and Public Construction Unit (UCLBP) and the General Directorate of Civil Protection (DGPC), and co-
leading the Migrant Protection Working Group and the Inter-Agency Working Group on Disarmament, Demobilization, and
Reintegration (DDR).
CAPACITY
Since the opening of IOM’s country operations in 1994, IOM has closely worked with the Government of Haiti (GoH) on migration
management and capacity-strengthening programmes, addressing internal displacement and international migration caused by years
of turmoil. Guided by the IOM Regional Office for Latin America, and the Caribbean, IOM Haiti supports the GoH in identifying
and addressing migration and displacement challenges. IOM has also extended its cooperation with the government to address the
effects of disasters on vulnerable people and promote resilience and coping mechanisms.
IOM Haiti coordinates its activities through its main office in Port-au-Prince, a sub-office in Cap Haitien, and four satellite offices in
Haiti Crisis Response Plan 20267
Camp Perrin, Ouanaminthe, Gonaives and Belladere. IOM maintains a robust nationwide presence, enabling the effective
implementation of interventions across the country.
To support crisis response, IOM maintains pre-positioned non-food item (NFI) stocks in partnership with the Directorate of Civil
Protection (DGPC) at key locations including Belladere, Gonaives, Jeremie, Port-au-Prince, Les Cayes, and Cap Haitien. Emergency
supplies from these stocks can be quickly deployed prior to and during disasters, ensuring early action and rapid response. As part
of the response to the displacement crisis, through direct implementation and implementing partners, IOM is implementing essential
camp coordination and camp management (CCCM) interventions in more than 50 sites in the MAPAP and through community
resource centers adopting an area-based approach. IOM has a dedicated Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and
Harassment (PSEAH) Officer in Haiti, advising on risk mitigation within IOM operations, ensuring a survivor-centred approach, and
reinforcing inter-agency safeguarding coordination as part of the broader crisis response.
IOM has also helped establish four Border Resource Centres (BRCs) at official crossings (Ouanaminthe, Belladere, Malpasse, and
Anse-a-Pitres). Operated by state registration agents, BRCs offer emergency aid to vulnerable migrants, especially those forcibly
returned. Services include psychosocial support (with special attention to women and children), medical aid, temporary shelter, and
movement assistance. IOM also supports access to legal documents for migrants through assistance to Document Identity
Reception and Delivery Centres (Centre de Réception et de Livraison de Documents d’Identité - CRLDI).
Additionally, IOM’s initiatives bolster stability and social cohesion by strengthening local leadership, supporting public institutions,
promoting inclusive dialogue, and rehabilitating public infrastructure, especially in displacement-affected areas. IOM also promotes
livelihood opportunities to strengthen the resilience and self-reliance of vulnerable deported migrants, IDPs and host community
members, including through a focus on agriculture and green reintegration.
ENGAGING WITH GOVERNMENT
IOM is committed to supporting the Haitian Government’s leadership in crisis response, recognizing that robust government
engagement and capacity are prerequisites for sustainable recovery. At the national level, IOM provides technical assistance to key
ministries and agencies, including the National Office for Migration (Office National de la Migration, ONM), the General Directorate
of Civil Protection (Direction Générale de la Protection Civile, DGPC), the Housing and Public Construction Unit (Unité de
Construction de Logements et de Bâtiments Publics, UCLBP), the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the
Ministry of Haitians Living Abroad (Ministère des Haïtiens Vivant à l'Étranger, MHAVE), focusing on the institutionalization of
migration governance, service delivery, and preparedness. IOM supports legislative and policy development, assists in the
management of displacement sites, and enhances government data collection and management capacities, particularly through its
longstanding partnership with the General Directorate of Civil Protection.
At the sub-national and local levels, IOM actively collaborates with municipal authorities, the Boards of the Municipal Sections
(Conseils d’Administration des Sections Communales, CASECs), and the Assemblies of the Communal Sections (Assemblées des
Sections Communales, ASECs) to strengthen localized preparedness and response mechanisms. This includes technical support for
identity documentation delivery (e.g., Reception and Delivery Centre for Identity Documents / Centre de Reception et Livraison des
Documents d’Identité), and initiatives to address education and protection for displaced children and forcibly returned migrants. In
displacement sites, IOM collaborates with the DGPC in the active management and administration of collective centres and informal
settlements. Complementarily, with IOM co-leadership, the CCCM Cluster also provides active institutional capacity strengthening
support to DGPC entities across the country.
Regionally, IOM plays a pivotal role in facilitating binational dialogue and cooperation with the Dominican Republic, organizing high-
level meetings and joint mechanisms to improve border management and counter cross-border trafficking. Through the Dialogue
Cell and coordination with platforms such as the Organization of American States (OAS), IOM ensures that government
engagement expands beyond national borders and is integrated into regional crisis management frameworks.

The planned activities aim to address the root causes of displacement, such as violence, environmental degradation, and economic
collapse, while strengthening the resilience and self-reliance of displaced populations and host communities.
Through integrated programming, IOM will expand access to housing, land and property rights, sustainable livelihoods, and essential
services including health, education, and WASH. Transitional CCCM operations will also support initiatives to enhance IDPs access
to general and household-level sustainable solutions depending on the evolution of the security context including return, relocation
or local integration. Community-based planning and inclusive governance approaches will be used to promote social cohesion and
peaceful coexistence. Environmental sustainability and disaster risk reduction will be embedded across operations to mitigate future
displacement risks and strengthen resilience. This will be done through capacity strengthening, early warning systems, risk reduction
infrastructure, and community-based preparedness across displacement-affected communities.
These activities will contribute to short-term outcomes such as improved living conditions and access to services, and long-term
outcomes including strengthened systems for displacement prevention, recovery, and adaptation. By working with government and
local actors, IOM will ensure that solutions are safe, voluntary, and dignified, and that displaced populations are included in policy

IOM Haiti’s approach will ensure the rights and well-being of crisis-affected populations are central to all operations, reflecting
institutional and global commitments to protection and inclusion. Sectoral interventions will be guided by a rights-based, “do no
harm” framework, with protection outcomes and risk reduction systematically integrated across all activities. Safeguards such as
gender and disability inclusion, accountability to affected populations (AAP), and protection from sexual exploitation and abuse
(PSEA) will be mainstreamed across every sector.
Safe and dignified programming: All interventions will incorporate protection risk analyses and “do no harm” strategies. Staff
will receive training on mitigating gender-based violence (GBV) risks and child safeguarding, ensuring meaningful access to
assistance for women, children, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups.
Community engagement and accountability: Inclusive community committees and feedback mechanisms will be established,
enabling affected people—especially displaced women, youth, and persons with disabilities—to participate in decision-
making. Feedback will be collected through channels such as hotlines (e.g., the 8840 hotline) and complaint mechanisms,
ensuring the response will be adapted to the evolving priorities and preferences of those impacted.
Protection mainstreaming: Each sectoral intervention (CCCM, Shelter, WASH, etc.) will be designed to reduce protection
risks and ensure referrals to specialized support when needed. Coordination with protection actors will enable the
identification and assistance of at-risk groups, such as GBV survivors, trafficked persons, and unaccompanied children,
ensuring no one is left behind.
PSEA and ethical conduct: A zero-tolerance policy on PSEA will be enforced through regular training for staff and partners,
participation in the inter-agency PSEA Network, and the deployment of dedicated PSEA focal points. Safe, confidential
reporting channels will be maintained to address and respond to allegations promptly.
Inclusion and empowerment: Gender equality, disability inclusion, and diversity will be promoted throughout programme
design and implementation. Women’s groups, youth representatives, and disability advocates will be consulted to tailor
assistance to community needs, ensuring that affected populations will be recognized as key partners in their own recovery.
