Immigration and Border Governance 

Responding to complex migration and border management challenges to facilitate safe, orderly and regular migration and mobility

IOM Burundi supports the Government of the Republic of Burundi through the General Commission for Migration within the Ministry of Interior, Public Security and Community Development in the implementation of Humanitarian Border Management (HBM) and Health, Border and Mobility Management (HBMM) interventions across the country’s borders with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and the United Republic of Tanzania. Supporting the establishment of modern and efficient Border Control Posts supports safe and orderly migration of citizens, enhances the relationship between bordering countries, provides protection, and increases the political and socioeconomic stability between Burundi and its neighbours. IOM also facilitates inter-agency coordination and cross-border meetings to foster collaboration and best practices in border management. These efforts aim to facilitate orderly, safe, and regular migration and mobility while addressing complex migration challenges and combating organized crimes such as human trafficking and document fraud.
