In response to the decade long migration crisis in Zimbabwe, IOM – with support from various donors – has been implementing a comprehensive humanitarian assistance programme for internally displaced persons in new cases of internal displacement, returned migrants and third-country nationals, as well as facilitate the transition towards community stabilization and recovery for communities affected by long-term internal displacement and cross-border migration.  

The project was based on the IOM Framework for Assistance to IDPs in Zimbabwe (2011) and the Community Stabilization Interventions for Migration-affected Areas (2013), which are grounded in local government leadership, community mobilization and socially and economically inclusive participation processes.
