With this Call for Project Proposals, IOM wants to encourage civil society and local institutions to better understand the needs and rights of the local population and migrants, and to provide more accessible, comprehensive and high-quality protection services for the most vulnerable groups among them, thus to improve social cohesion in the communities where there is a large number of migrant population.

The implementation of joint projects should be based on the principles of good horizontal coordination, inter-sectoral cooperation and partnership between different actors relevant for migration management in local self-governments (local institutions, organizations and networks such as local migration councils, local teams to fight human trafficking, centers for social work, local health centers, schools, judicial authorities, economic sector, civil society organisations, and others), in order to achieve coherent and adapted response to specific needs in the field of migration, as well as support different categories of migrants.

The deadline for submission of the applications is September 4, 2022, 23:59. More information about the Call as well as about the process, the selection criteria and the method of application is available on this page.

This project “Strengthening Capacities and Partnerships for Migration Management in Serbia” is part of the Swiss–Serbian Migration Partnership and has been developed based on identified needs and priorities by the relevant institutions. The overall goal of this project is to support national institutions in strengthening the migration management system in Serbia, with a special focus on mixed migration flows and migrants in vulnerable situations.
