Practical Guide for Communicating in the Context of Migratory Crises

This is a quick reference guide for IOM staff who are in the field attending a crisis and must communicate with the migrant population in countries of transit or destination. It is based on the operational frameworks of the IOM (MICIC, MCOF, among others), as well as on the principles of strategic communication and communication for development. The document presents communication as a cyclical process, which is built together with the communities, considering their needs and particularities in a context where the correct message, communicated at the right time and through the appropriate channels, can mean saving a person's life.
