Migrant Smuggling Data and Research: A global review of the emerging evidence
base
Migrant Smuggling Data and Research: A global review of the emerging evidence
base presents a unique review of what is being collected and what can be done
to further build the evidence base on migrant smuggling globally. The report is
the result of a collaboration between the International Organization for
Migration and researchers from a range of backgrounds and academic disciplines,
and supported by the Government of Turkey. The report shows that important
research has been undertaken on the transnational crime aspects of migrant
smuggling, including on routes, smuggling organization (such as criminal
networking and facilitation), smuggler profiles and fees/payment. Likewise,
there is an emerging academic literature on migrant smuggling, particularly the
economic and social processes involved in smuggling, which has largely been
based on small-scale qualitative research, mostly undertaken by early career
researchers. Contributions from private research companies, as well as
investigative journalists, have provided useful insights in some regions,
helping to shed light on smuggling practices. There remains, however, sizeable
gaps in migration policy research and data, particularly in relation to
migration patterns and processes linked to migrant smuggling, including its
impact on migrants (particularly vulnerability, abuse and exploitation), as
well as its impact on irregular migration flows (such as increasing scale,
diversity and changes in geography). Addressing these systemic and regional
gaps in data and research would help deepen understanding of the smuggling
phenomenon, and provide further insights into how responses can be formulated
that better protect migrants while enhancing States abilities to manage orderly
migration. 2016 / 340 pages

| Assessing the Evidence: Migration, Environment and Climate Change in
KenyaIn the framework of the European Unionfunded Migration, Environment and
Climate Change: Evidence for Policy (MECLEP) project, the Republic of Kenya
(hereafter Kenya) is one of the six pilot countries. The country was selected
as it is prone to extreme events. In fact, since 1964, a total of 58.66 million
people were affected by droughts, floods and related epidemics, and the
frequency of events has escalated in the last two decades and a half. This
report compiles information from an extensive number of sources, including
academic and working papers, publications and reports conducted by national and
international organizations, research institutes and NGOs, as well as
government policy documents. It offers two main and complementary outcomes: (a)
presents human mobility patterns due to environmental change, creating Kenyas
migration-environment map; and (b) offers guidance for Kenyas policymakers by
analysing the legal framework related to environmental migration. This report
also offers insights for a coherent policy development framed on the National
Climate Change Action Plans (NCCAP) agendas. 2016 / 140 pages

Community-Based Complaint Mechanisms The Best Practice Guide is operational
guidance on how to set up and run an inter-agency community-based complaint
mechanism (CBCM) to handle reports of sexual abuse and exploitation by aid
workers. It compiles lessons learned, examples, and case studies gathered
throughout the course of a 20132015 pilot project on inter-agency CBCMs, which
IOM coordinated on behalf of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC). The
Guide is an easy-to-use living document that offers practical guidance, and
includes global Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) on inter-agency
cooperation in complaint handling. With the endorsement of the IASC Principals
in June 2016, it addresses a gap for high-level PSEA guidance transmitted to
our representatives in the field. For more information about inter-agency PSEA
initiatives, or to receive a hard copy of the Guide in English, please contact

| | Another Manam? The Forced Migration of the Population of Manam
Island, Papua New Guinea, due to Volcanic Eruptions 2004-2005 In the framework
of the European Unionfunded Migration, Environment and Climate Change: Evidence
for Policy (MECLEP) project, this report analyses the case of Manam islanders
in Papua New Guinea. Approximately 9,000 people were evacuated to the north
coast of Madang Province due to volcanic activity. Since then, the Government
of Papua New Guinea aims at finding a durable solution for the displaced
persons. The Madang Provincial Government has therefore established a
resettlement strategy for a permanent site further inland. Meanwhile, due to
the tensions and violence experienced, some of the islanders have decided to
move back especially on the northern village of Baliau. The report recommends
that the Madang Provincial Government should involve the Manam communities by
allowing them to participate in finding a community-driven long-term solution
to the problem and rehabilitating essential services in the care centres and on
Manam.

reflecting how migration is cross-cutting throughout the 2030 Agenda In
September 2015 the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda was adopted, and for the
first time migration was included in mainstream global development policy.
Migration is broadly mentioned throughout the 2030 Agenda, and as such IOMs
strategy on engagement in the 2030 Agenda is comprehensive. The SDGs codify
much of IOMs on-going work on migration and development, and the Organization
intends to continue playing an integral role on numerous cross-cutting issues.
To properly communicate how IOM identifies migration in the 2030 Agenda to
stakeholders and the wider public and to shed light on the complex challenges
and opportunities which accompany the migration-related targets, IOM plans to
launch a publication with thematic articles which showcase how different areas
of migration are addressed in the SDGs. 2016 / 3 pages
