IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants. Context: Puntland is characterized by a growing number of refugees and migrants, resulting in irregular migration to and from Somalia and Yemen, whereby Yemen itself is now also in political crisis. Hence, the Puntland State of Somalia is now hosting large number of refugees from Yemen. Travel routes between Puntland and Yemen are crossing the Gulf of Aden, which is monitored and patrolled by the Puntland coast guard. There is therefore an obvious need to build the capacity of the local coast guard in surveillance, tracking of ships, rescue at sea, protection of migrants and refugees, and border management. As the situation continues to worsen, community leaders in Bosasso Puntland State of Somalia have met to brainstorm on ways to more sustainability support in livelihoods and access to basic services of Yemeni returnees as well as internally displaced people (IDPs) and the affected community. Funding from King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre will enable the community to implement selected priority projects that will benefit not only the Yemen returnees but also the IDPs and the vulnerable members of the affected communities. IOM will also support to provide capacity building trainings to Bosasso coast guards and port immigration officials.
