In IOM’s Integrated Approach to Reintegration, community-based reintegration assistance programme aims at strengthening community networks and improving the conditions for sustainable reintegration. Initiatives at this level are implemented using a participatory approach involving returnees and their communities of return to address wider needs and concerns, increasing support for reintegration among local actors.

Under the EU-IOM Joint Initiative for Migrant Protection and Reintegration in the Horn of Africa, IOM and its partners implemented 60 community-based reintegration assistance initiatives. In several instances, the initiatives targeted areas with high incidence of irregular migration where several returning migrants concentrated, allowing to reduce tensions between returnees and local communities, or serve as extra capacity when a community has been stretched to accommodate returnees’ needs.
