The International Organization for Migration (IOM) received a $2.5 million Project Grant award from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas program (CFDA 98.001) to support improvements to reception facilities in Haiti for migrants returning from the United States. The grant period runs from September 19, 2021 through September 18, 2022.
IOM aims to welcome returning migrants to better reception facilities in Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haitian upon repatriation from the U.S., enabling key stakeholders to prepare for and respond to repatriations on short notice. This supports the program's objective of advancing US foreign policy goals through humanitarian assistance. The funding will improve IOM's capacity to receive the surge of thousands of Haitian migrants assembled in Mexico seeking to enter the US in recent weeks, who may be subject to repatriation.
