Organizational Context and Scope

Since the inception of IOM in 1951, Movement Operations have been and continue to be a fundamental pillar of the Organization's work. The organized movement of persons in need of international migration assistance is a primary mandate to the Organization and a cornerstone of IOM's operations. This mandate has resulted in the international transport of more that 15 million migrants and refugees worldwide.

Movement Operations departments in various IOM Country Offices (COs), coordinated under the unit of Resettlement and Movement Management (RMM) in the Department of Mobility Pathways and Inclusion at IOM's Geneva Headquarters (HQ), are responsible for all aspects of travel for migrants and refugees under IOM's auspices, in accordance with the various framework agreements with resettlement and receiving Governments and partners across the spectrum of the Organization's programmes.
