Bangladesh Migration Crisis Operational Framework

With the objective of strengthening the mechanisms for assisting its nationals in countries experiencing disasters, the Government of Bangladesh initiated the preparation of the Bangladesh Migration Crisis Operational Framework. This initiative is being implemented by IOM and is funded by the European Union under the project titled “Sustainable Reintegration and Improved Migration Governance” (Prottasha) project. The framework document proposes key pillars on which to anchor Bangladesh’s approach in providing assistance to its nationals in countries experiencing emergencies caused by human-made and natural disasters. Based on  consultative data-gathering exercise, the framework document proposes recommendations for implementation, and highlights key challenges in ensuring successful interventions to assist migrants in emergencies abroad.
